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:

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.

CAUTION:
•
Be sure to tighten the hex bolt securely. Insufficient
tightening of the hex bolt may result in severe injury.
Use the socket wrench provided to help assure
proper tightening.
•
Always use only the proper inner and outer flanges
which are provided with this tool.
•
Always lower the wheel guard after replacing the
wheel.
Securing workpiece

By turning the vise handle counterclockwise and then
flipping the vise nut to the back, the vise is released from
the shaft threads and can be moved rapidly in and out. To
grip workpieces, push the vise handle until the vise plate
contacts the workpiece. Flip the vise nut to the front and
then turn the vise handle clockwise to securely retain the
workpiece.
CAUTION:
•
Always set the vise nut to the front fully when
securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may result
in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could
cause the workpiece to be ejected or cause a
dangerous breakage of the wheel.
When the cut-off wheel has worn down considerably, use
a spacer block of sturdy, non-flammable material behind
the workpiece as shown in the figure. You can more
efficiently utilize the worn wheel by using the mid point on
the periphery of the wheel to cut the workpiece.

When cutting workpieces over 85 mm wide at an angle,
attach a straight piece of wood (spacer) to the guide plate
as shown in the figure. Attach this spacer with screws
through the holes in the guide plate.
