FEATURES
KNOW YOUR ABRASIVE CUT-OFF MACHINE
See Figures 2 and 3.
Before attempting to use your machine, familiarize yourself
with all operating features and safety requirements.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your machine to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
MOTOR
See Figure 2.
This machine has a strong motor with sufficient power to
handle tough cutting jobs. It also has externally accessible
brushes for ease of servicing.
14 in. (356 mm) ABRASIVE WHEEL
See Figure 2.
A 14 in. (356 mm) abrasive wheel is included with your cut-
off machine. It will cut materials up to 5 in. (127 mm) thick or
8 in. (203 mm) wide, depending upon the thickness or width
of the material and the setting at which the cut is being made.

the wheel. It retracts over the upper wheel guard as the
wheel is lowered into the workpiece.
VISE CLAMP
See Figure 2.
A vise clamp has been provided with your cut-off machine.
It is located on the end of the vise screw and provides greater
control by clamping the workpiece to the fence. It also
prevents the workpiece from creeping toward the wheel
during a cutting operation.
ADJUSTABLE FLIP FENCE ASSEMBLY
See Figure 2.
The fence on your cut-off machine has been provided to
support the workpiece and provide clamping support to the
vise for holding your workpiece securely when making all
cuts. It is an adjustable flip fence assembly that has been
provided to make your cut-off machine more versatile. It
adjusts 45
°
to the right for making angled cuts. It has an
extension block that flips down when making cuts in tall or
thick stock, such as square stock or tube stock. The exten-
sion block flips up out of the way when making cuts in stock
that is thin or wide, such as angle stock.
QUICK LOCK-RELEASE LEVER
See Figure 2.
A quick lock-release lever has been provided on your cut-off
machine. This feature allows you to open and close the vise
clamp quickly without repetitive turning of the vise crank handle.
