REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF WHEEL
TO REMOVE (Fig. 4)
Unplug your cut-off machine.
Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
Push down on machine arm and remove transport chain
from hook on motor housing to release machine arm.
Raise machine arm to its full raised position. Be cautious
when raising, machine arm is spring loaded.
Raise lower guard, and use lock handle to secure lower guard
position.
Rotate blade and press down spindle lock button (21) until
the lock pin is engaged with the hole inside the flange as
to avoid further blade rotation.
Depress the spindle lock button and rotate bolt until
spindle locks, preventing shaft from rotating.
Using the hex key (16) provided, loosen and remove
bolt (29).
Note:
Bolt has right hand threads. Turn bolt
counterclockwise to loosen.
Remove outer washer (30), outer flange (28), guard cover
lock (27), and wheel.
Do not
remove inner flange (26) or
inner washer(24). Removal of these two parts are not
required for wheel changes.
WARNING:
WARNING:
If inner flange or inner washer has been removed, replace both before
placing wheel on spacer and wheel arbor. Failure to do so could
cause an accident since wheel will not tighten properly.
TO INSTALL (Fig. 4)
Unplug your cut-off machine.
Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
Inspect the replacement wheel for defects such as cracks,
chipping, and correct speed rating. If defects are found
or the speed rating is not greater than 4000min
-1
,
do not
use. Select another wheel.
Clean debris from the inner washer and inner flange.
Place new wheel over spacer, then place both on wheel
arbor (25) against inner flange.
Clean outer flange, then align flats with flats on wheel
arbor and slide it onto arbor until it is flush against wheel.
Place recessed side of outer washer against arbor, then
insert socket head bolt into threaded end of wheel arbor.
Start threads and turn bolt clockwise to snugly tighten.
Depress the spindle lock button and rotate bolt until
spindle locks, preventing shaft from rotating.
WARNING:
Using the 8 mm hex key (16) provided, securely tighten
socket head bolt.
Note:

Turn bolt clockwise to tighten.
Do not overtighten socket head bolt. Overtightening can
cause the new wheel to crack, resulting in premature
failure and possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
ADJUSTABLE FENCE (Fig. 5)
The adjustable fence is located at the rear of your cut-off
machine. As mentioned previously, it is used along with the
vise clamp to provide a clamp for holding your workpiece
securely when making cuts. It also makes your cut-off
machine more versatile.
The fence can be rotated to obtain cutting angles from 0
°
to
45
°
. It also can be moved back to allow greater cutting widths
in thin stock, or forward to allow greater cutting depths in tall
or thick stock.
CUTTING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 5-6)
Unplug your cut-off machine.
Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
Using the 8 mm hex key supplied, loosen the two socket
head bolts (35) securing adjustable fence.
WARNING:
Rotate fence until the desired angle of cut on the scale is
aligned with the indicator (32) in machine base.
For precise cuts, check the angle of cut for the fence
against the abrasive wheel with a protractor, bevel square,
or other similar device.
Using the 8 mm hex key supplied, securely tighten socket
head bolts. Return hex key to its storage area in base.
This will secure the fence in place at desired angle.
ADJUSTING WIDTH OF CUT (Fig. 7)
Unplug your cut-off machine.
Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
To increase the width of cut of your cut-off machine, use
the 8 mm hex key to loosen and remove the socket head
bolts and washers securing fence to machine base (7).
Reposition the curved slot of the fence with the threaded
hole (34) in back of the machine base.
Install a socket head bolt (18) through a lock washer and flat
washer into machine base.
Do not
tighten bolt securely.
Align remaining fence bolt hole with the middle threaded
hole in the machine base.
