The stopper plate prevents the cut-off wheel from 
contacting the workbench or floor. When a new wheel is 
installed, set the stopper plate to position (A). When the 
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.

The original spacing or interval between the vise and the 
guide plate is 0 - 170 mm. If your work requires wider 
spacing or interval, proceed as follows to change the 
spacing or interval. 
Remove the two hex bolts which secure the guide plate. 
Move the guide plate as shown in the figure and secure it 
using the hex bolts. The following interval settings are 
possible: 
35 - 205 mm 
70 - 240 mm 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Remember that narrow workpieces may not be 
secured safely when using the two, wider interval 
settings. 

Setting for desired cutting angle

To change the cutting angle, follow the procedure below: 

1. 

Loosen the two hex bolts. 

2. 

Set the guide plate to the desired angle (0° - 45°). 

3. 

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. 

4. 

Tighten the hex bolts securely. At this time, make 
sure that the guide rule does not move. 

5. 

Check the angle again. 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Never perform right miter cuts when the guide plate 
is set at the 35 - 205 mm or 70 - 240 mm position. 

NOTE: 

• 

The scale on the guide plate is only a rough 
indication. 

ASSEMBLY 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and 
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

To remove the wheel, raise the wheel guard. Press the 
shaft lock so that the wheel cannot revolve and use the 
socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt by turning it 
counterclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer 
flange and wheel. (Note: Do not remove the inner flange, 
ring and O-ring.) 
To install the wheel, follow the removal procedures in 
reverse.
