Slowly lower the Cut-Off Grinding Wheel into the workpiece. Continue applying
light downward pressure until the workpiece is fully cut. Then, release pressure
on the Power Switch (42) to turn off the tool. (See Figure C, and Assy. Diagram.)

Allow the Cut-Off Grinding Wheel to come to a complete stop. Then secure the
Housing (22, 44) to its down position on the Base (60) by coiling the Tie-Down
Chain (51) around the Handle. (See Assy. Diagram.)

NOTE: Before trying new or complicated techniques, study the procedure and
practice with scrap material.
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1.
Caution: Always disconnect the Cut-Off Saw from its electrical power supply
source before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning.
2.
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Cut-Off Saw. Inspect the
Power Switch, Power Plug, Cord assembly, and extension cord (if used) for dam-
age. Check for a cracked or damaged Cut-Off Grinding Wheel, improper mount-
ing of a Cut-Off Grinding Wheel, loose screws, broken parts, misalignment, or
binding of moving parts, and any other condition that may affect its safe
operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn off the Cut-Off Saw
immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use
damaged equipment.
3.
The Cut-Off Saw features
two Carbon Brushes (27) which, periodically, should be
examined for wear. The Carbon Brushes are located on the Right Housing (22)
and Left Housing (44). To inspect or replace the Carbon Brushes, use a small
standard screwdriver to remove the Brush Covers (26). Remove the Carbon
Brushes from the two Brush Holders (28), and examine the concave surface of the
Carbon Brushes. The surface should be smooth and clean. If the Carbon
Brushes appear only dirty, they may be cleaned by rubbing them with a pencil
eraser. Make sure to remove any eraser dust which may have occurred during
cleaning. If there are large scratch marks in the Carbon Brushes, or parts of the
Carbon Brushes have broken off, replace
both Carbon Brushes immediately with
approved replacement Carbon Brushes from Harbor Freight Tools. To reinstall the
Carbon Brushes, insert them into the Brush Holders. Turn the Carbon Brushes
vertically so they will fit into the Brush Holders. Then, replace the Brush Covers.
(See Assy. Diagram.)
4.
With a brush, soft cloth, or vacuum, remove all debris from the Cut-Off Saw.
