OPERATION
CUTTING WITH YOUR CUT-OFF MACHINE (Fig.
10-11)
WARNING:
Do not attempt to cut wood or masonry with this cut-off
machine. Never cut magnesium or magnesium alloy with this
machine. Failure to comply could result in serious personal
injury.
■
To prevent machine movement or tipping during cutting
procedure, secure cut-off machine in place to a workbench
or work surface that is also secured.
WARNING:
Always use the vice on the cut-off machine to prevent
accidents that could result in possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Never stand or have any part of your body in line with the path
of the wheel as this many cause serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Large, circular, or irregularly shaped material may require
additional means of clamping for cutting adequately. Use “C”
clamps that can be mounted along the left and front side of
the machine base.
WARNING:
Also use blocks to hold material securely. Failure to comply
could result in serious personal injury.
To avoid accidental start up of your cut-off machine, always
make sure the switch is off before connecting to power
source. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
CUT-OFF (Fig. 12-13)
A cut-off is made by cutting across the width of the workpiece.
A straight crosscut is made with the adjustable fence set at
the zero degree position. Angled cut-offs are made with the
adjustable fence set at some angle other than zero.
To cut with your cut-off machine:
■
Firmly secure the material to be cut by using the machine’s
vice (or adjustable fence and vice clamp).
■
Loosen the fence quick lock and fence bolts securing the
fence.
■
Rotate the adjustable fence to the angle needed.
■
Retighten fence quick lock and fence bolt to secure the
fence.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten fence quick
lock and fence bolts securely before making a cut. Failure
to do so, could result in movement of the workpiece while
making a cut.
■
Place the workpiece flat on the machine base with one
surface securely against the adjustable fence.
■
Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of the
abrasive wheel.
■
Push in the vice crank handle to set the vice clamp against
the workpiece. Turn the vice crank handle 1/2 to 1 turn
clockwise to securely clamp the workpiece to the fence.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands at least
76.2 mm (3”) from wheel.
■
When cutting long pieces, support the opposite end of the
material with a roller stand or with a work surface level with
the machine base.
WARNING:
Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without
placing workpiece in the vice). Material will get hot during
cutting operation. Keep hands off of metal being cut to avoid
serious personal injury.
■
Before turning on machine, perform a dry run of the cutting
operation just to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
■
Start the machine by grasping the handle and fully
squeezing the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the
wheel to build up to full speed before letting it come into
contact with the material to be cut.
■
Once it reaches full speed slowly lower the handle of the
machine arm until the cut-off wheel comes in contact with
the material being cut. Continue to use steady and even
pressure to obtain a uniform cut through the workpiece.
Never force the wheel into the material being cut.
