Undo the lock nut (19).
Turn the stop screw (18) in or out as required.
Lower the saw head (1) to check whether the
cutting off wheel (11) reaches the clamping face
(7) of the vise (15 ).
Retighten the lock nut (19).
7.5. Replacing the cutting-off wheel (Fig. 7 / 8)
Pull out the power plug.
Move the saw head (1) to its upper position of
rest.
Swing up the adjustable guard (3) for the cutting-
off wheel.
Open the wing nut (20) and turn the side guard
(21) for the cutting-off wheel to the rear.
Push the shaft lock (9) to the right and turn the
cutting-off sheel (11) slowly with the other hand
until the shaft lock (9) engages.
Use the supplied open-ended wrench (23) to
turn out the shaft screw (22) in counterclockwise
direction.
Remove the shaft screw (22), washer, outer
flange (24) and worn cutting-off wheel (11).
Install the new cutting-off wheel in reverse order
and tighten.
Important!
The flanges have to be thoroughly
cleaned prior to mounting the cutting-off wheel.
Note the direction arrow!
Use only recommended, reinforced cutting-off
wheels and take care to tighten the shaft screw
(22) just enough to hold the wheel (11) securely
in place and prevent it from spinning.
Overtightening the shaft screw (11) may damage
the cutting-off wheel.
Turn the side guard (21) for the cutting-off wheel
back to the front and fasten in place with the
thumb screw (20).
Push down the saw head (1) by the handle so
that the cutting-off wheel guard (3) can be
flipped forward again.
8.0 Using the cutting-off machine
8.1. ON/OFF switch (Fig. 9)
The MKS 355/1 metal cutting-off machine is
equipped with a safety switch to prevent accidental
starting.
Push the locking button (25) up.
Only now can the cutting-off machine be
activated with the switch (10).
To deactivate the cutting-off machine again, let
go of the switch (10).
8.2. Making a cut (Fig. 10 / 11)
Clamp the workpiece securely in the vise.
Switch on the machine and wait for the motor to
reach its top speed.
Push down the saw head (1) by the handle (2)
until the cutting-off wheel makes slight contact
with the workpiece.
Move the cutting-off wheel (11) smoothly
through the material you want to cut.
Important!
Avoid causing the cutting-off wheel
to jump or chatter. This will only result in cuts of
poor quality or a broken wheel.
Press down the handle (2) firmly and evenly
during the cutting operation.
To prevent overheating of the workpiece and
excessive formation of burr, you should not
reduce cutting speed at the end of the cutting
operation.
Note:
The number of cuts per cutting-off wheel
and their quality may vary considerably with the
time taken to make the cuts. Fast cuts may
accelerate wheel wear, but they also prevent
discoloring of the workpiece and the formation of
burr.
9.0. Maintenance
Caution!
