hand, turn the motor switch ON.
7. Wait for motor to come up to its full speed. Carefully
lower the cut off disc until it contacts the workpiece.
NOTE: Many sparks will be generated as soon as the cut off
disc touches the workpiece.
8. Apply only slight pressure to the chop saw handle as it
begins to cut through the workpiece. Do not apply too
much pressure to the handle as this will cause the motor
to slow down. Doing so will slow the cutting action and
damage the motor.
9. When the cut off disc has completely cut through the
workpiece, release the trigger switch immediately. Wait
for the motor to come to a complete stop before lifting
the cut off disc away from the workpiece.
WARNING
Never touch the workpiece immediately after a cut is
completed. The metal in the cutting area will be red hot and
will cause severe burns to your skin.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. The
use of any other part may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
DO NOT use solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Plastics
are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use a clean
cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease etc.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils, etc. to come into contact with
plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic.
Keep the air vents cleared of any built up dust to prevent
the motor from overheating. Remove accumulated dust and
debris regularly using a soft DRY brush.
WARNING
Use safety goggles when using an air jet to blow dust out of
the chop saw.
DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage
the tool and the workpiece.
WARNING
Do not attempt to modify tools or create accessories. Any
such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a
hazardous condition leading to possible serious injury. It will
also void the warranty.
NOTE: It has been found that electric tools are subjected to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure when they
are used on fiberglass boats and sports cars, wallboard,
spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and grindings
from these materials are highly abrasive to electric tool parts
such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently,
it is not recommended that this tool be used for extended
work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling
compounds or plaster. During any use on these materials it
is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by
blowing it out with an air jet.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high-grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is
required.
