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.
