always set the guide plate at 0 - 170 mm position. 
Setting at the 35 - 205 mm or 70 - 240 mm position 

hinders the movement of stopper plate, which 

results in a failure cut.

Loosen the two hex bolts using a socket wrench. Turn 
the guide plate to the desired angle and secure it with

NOTE:

 The scale on the guide plate is only a rough 

indication. For more accurate angle, use a protractor 
or triangle ruler. Keep the handle down so that the 
cut-off wheel extends into the base. At the same time, 

adjust the angle between the guide plate and the cut-

off wheel with a protractor or triangle ruler.

 Stopper plate

The stopper plate prevents the cut-off wheel from 

contacting the workbench or loor. When a new cut-off 

wheel is installed, set the stopper plate to position (A). 
When the cut-off wheel wears down to the extent that 
the lower portion of the workpiece is left uncut, set the 
stopper plate to position (B) to allow increased cutting 
capacity with a worn down wheel.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

 

Always be sure that the tool is 

switched off and unplugged before carrying out 
any work on the tool.
