1.2. GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! Disconnect the cut-off saw from the mains power, and ensure that the cutting blade is at a complete standstill before
attempting to change accessories, service or perform any maintenance.
Maintain the cut-off saw in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Locate the cut-off machine in a suitable work area. Ensure that the surface is flat and firm. Keep the area clean and tidy and free from
unrelated materials, and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
Keep the cut-off saw clean for best and safest performance and check moving parts alignment regularly.
WARNING! Before each use check that the cutting blade is secure and that it is not worn or damaged.
NOTE: Only competant persons should attempt to change cutting blades.
Ensure that replacement blades are not damaged in any way - cracks or deformations etc. Also check the mounting flanges to check that
they are not deformed, burred or chipped. DO NOT over tighten a blade and never tamper with a blade in order to adapt it to a different
size holder.
Always use a blade suitable for the material being cut. Ensure that the cutting blade's specified maximum speed is equal to, or higher
than, that indicated on the machine data plate. Once mounted on the cut-off saw, test the blade before use by facing the cut-off
saw in a safe direction (point blade away from yourself, others and vulnerable items) and running it for a short time.

PORTABLE
MODEL No: SM355D110V
1.1 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other con-
nectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A
Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an
RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1 The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2 The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances and
the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3 Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and
use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4 Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5 Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to
ensure that none are loose.
1.1.6 Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be used
and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse.
1.1.7 Ensure the 110 volt transformer or generator is of an adequate rating for the cut-off saw.
1.1.8 DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by its power supply lead.
1.1.9 DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the power cable.
1.1.10 DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty item repaired
or replaced by a qualified electrician.
Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin 110V plug.
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘PE’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L/+’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly
connected, that the cable outer insulation extends past the cable restraint and that the
restraint is tight.
1.1.11 If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD
fitted is recommended since any appliance plugged into it will be protected. The cable core
section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of
the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm²
section cable.
Fuse rating: 32Amp
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE THE
PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these

 WARNING! Before cutting ensure that you wear approved safety goggles, ear defenders, appropriate dust mask if cutting
generates dust, and safety gloves. All safety instructions in Section 1 must be followed.
4.1. USING THE LOCKING KNOB. (Refer to Fig.1)
4.1.1. When not in use or when being transported the cutting arm should always be locked down. To lock the arm down, pull it to its lowest
position against the return spring pressure until it is solidly against the stop. Firmly push the knob in. To release the arm, push it down
slightly, pull out the knob and gently guide it back to its top position.
4.2. SECURING THE WORKPIECE.
4.2.1 Ensure that the cut-off saw is unplugged from the power supply.
4.2.2 Check that the back stop is at 90°to the cutting blade using a set square.
Ensure the back stop fixings are tight using the hex key provided.
4.2.3 To move the other jaw up to the workpiece quickly, flip the thread lock open as shown in fig.3 and slide the jaw face up to the workpiece.
Flip the thread lock back down and tighten the workpiece in the vice.
4.2.4. When cutting long workpieces use additional supports along the length.
4.3 CUTTING DEPTH
4.3.1 (See depth stop in fig.2). To adjust, loosen the lock nut, adjust the stop using the hex key or spanner and retighten the lock nut. Only a
small movement of the depth stop is required to increase/decrease the depth. After adjusting the depth stop check that the locking knob
still functions correctly.
4.4 MITRE CUTTING
4.4.1 To cut at an angle loosen the vice backstop locking screw,
by turning it anticlockwise. Align to the desired angle using
the graduated scale on the base plate shown in fig.4, and
retighten the vice backstop screw. Place the workpiece
against the backstop and move the other jaw up to it, and
securely tighten.
4.5. ON/OFF SWITCH
4.5.1 The On/Off switch is locked in the Off position. To turn on the
saw you must press in the safety button with your thumb before
pulling the switch upwards. The switch is spring loaded and
must be held in the up position in order for the saw to continue
running. As soon as the pressure on the switch is released the
saw will turn off.

Fig.2 Fig.3
4.6. OPERATION
WARNING! DO NOT switch on the cut-off machine whilst the cutting blade is in contact with the workpiece. Bring the rotating
blade to the workpiece.
4.6.1 The cutting blade must be running at maximum speed before attempting to lower the cutting edge onto the workpiece.
4.6.2 Lower the cutting blade slowly and smoothly down towards the workpiece (avoid jerky movements).
4.6.3 Avoid subjecting the blade to excessive strain. Always ease the blade down against the workpiece (a harsh downward impact may
cause blade failure) and do not apply undue force on the handle when cutting the workpiece. Maintain a controlled cutting speed.
4.6.4 When cutting is complete, fully raise the cutting blade and release the On/Off switch.
4.6.5 Wait until the blade has stopped rotating before attempting to remove the workpiece.
