cranking. Lower vise lever (I) then tighten vise (F) on work
by using crank (H).
Fence Operation (fig. 5, 6)
CAUTION:
Turn off and unplug the tool before
making any adjustments or removing or installing
attachments or accessories. Be sure the trigger
switch is in the OFF position.
The fence (E) can be
adjusted two ways: to change desired cutting angle and to
change spacing between the fence and vise.
To Change the Desired Cutting Angle
Use the wrench provided to loosen (do not remove) the two
fence bolts (P). Align the desired angle indicator line with
the slot line (Q) in the base (D). Securely tighten both fence
bolts before use. For more accurate square cuts, disconnect
the power supply, loosen the two fence bolts, push arm
down until wheel extends into base. Place a square against
the wheel and adjust fence against the square. Securely
tighten both fence bolts before use. When making a miter
cut, the vise (F) may not clamp securely, depending on the
thickness of the workpiece and the miter angle. Other aids
(such as spring, bar or C-clamps) will be necessary to
secure the work piece to the fence when making these
cuts.
To Change Spacing between The Fence and Vise
Using the wrench provided, loosen and remove the two
fence bolts (P). Adjust the fence (E) to desired
locations.Insert both fence bolts in provided locations.
Securely tighten both fence bolts before use.
Removal and Installation of Wheels (fig. 7, 8)
CAUTION:
Turn off and unplug the tool before
making any adjustments or removing or installing
attachments or accessories. Be sure the trigger
switch is in the OFF position.
Do not make any
adjustment while the wheel is in motion. Do not make any
adjustment while chop saw is plugged into power supply.
1. Push in spindle lock (L) and rotate wheel (J) by hand
until wheel lock lever engages slot in inside flange(R) to
lock wheel. Loosen the bolt (S) counterclockwise in the
center of the abrasive wheel with the 8mm hex wrench
(G). Bolt has right-hand thread.
2. Remove the bolt (S), washer (T), outside flange (U) and
old wheel (J).
3. Make sure flange surfaces are clean and flat. Install the
new abrasive wheel by reversing the above steps.
4. Do not overtighten bolt.
USE
Standard Equipment
•
1 355mm (14") Metal Cutting Abrasive Wheel
•
1 Wheel Wrench
•
1 Instruction manual
To Carry (fig. 1)
Fold down unit to position where you can carry the saw. Push
in lock chain (A) to lock arm down.
UnLocking (fig. 1)
To unlock tool and raise head, depress motor arm slightly and
pull lock chain (A) out. Motor arm will then pivot upward.
Spark Deflector Adjustment (fig. 1)
To best deflect sparks away from surrounding persons and
materials, loosen the screw (B), adjust the spark deflector (C) and
then retighten screw. Do not allow cordset to come into contact
with deflector or sparks as damage to cordset may occur.
Depth Stop (fig. 1)
Depth stop is set at the factory for a new 355mm (14") wheel to
prevent wheel from cutting into the supporting surface.To allow
more depth of cut, use the flat wrench provided (G) to loosen
the depth stop bolt (M) and raise bolt to desired height and then
turn lock nut (M) clockwise until seated firmly on the casting.
Securely tighten the depth stop bolt before use.
CAUTION:
When changing to a new wheel, readjust
depth stop to original position to prevent cutting into
supporting surface.
Trigger Switch (fig. 1)
To start the tool, depress the trigger switch (N). To turn the
tool off, release the trigger switch. Keep hands and material
from wheel until it has coasted to a stop.To prevent
unauthorized use of tool, install a standard padlock (not
included) into the padlock hole (O) located in the trigger.
Material Clamping and Supporting
• Angles are best clamped and cut with both legs resting
against base.
• A spacer block slightly narrower than the work piece
can be used to increase wheel utilization (Fig. 2).
• Long work pieces must be supported by a block so it
will be level with top of base (Fig. 3). The cut off end
should be free to fall downward to avoid wheel binding.
Vise Operation (fig. 4)
The vise (F) has a quick-travel feature. To release the vise
when it is clamped tightly, turn the crank (H) counter-
clockwise one or two times to remove clamping pressure.
Lift vise lever (I) up. Pull crank assembly out as far as
desired. Vise may be pushed forward into work without
