Warning. Always unplug the saw from power source before adjusting or performing routine
maintenance. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious injury.

CUTTING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
1)
Using the supplies wrench, loosen hex head bolts behind the vise fence;
2)
Rotate the vise fence until the desired angle of the cut is aligned with the indicator groove in the saw
base.
3)
Check the angle of the vise fence to the abrasive wheel using a protractor, bevel square or similar
device.
4)
Using the supplied wrench, securely tighten the hex head bolts holding the vise to the saw base.
4.6 INCREASE THE WIDTH OF CUT OF THE CUT-OFF SAW
1)
Using the supplied wrench, remove hex head bolts securing the vise to the cut-off saw base.
2)
Reposition the curved slot of the vise base with the most rearward threaded hole in the saw base and
install a hex head bolt in this hole. DO NOT TIGHTEN.
3)
Align the remaining vise bolt hole with the middle-threaded hole in the saw base and install a hex head
bolt.
4)
Check or adjust the cutting angle and securely tighten both hex head bolts with the supplied wrench.
4.7 QUICK LOCK/RELEASE VISE
The cut-off saw is equipped with a quick lock/release vise system as standard equipment. With this feature,
you can open and close the vise quickly without repetitive turning of the vise crank handle.
4.8 USING THE QUICK LOCK/RELEASE VISE
1)
To loosen:
a)
Slightly release tension on the vise by rotating the crank handle counterclockwise ½ to 1 turn.
b)
Lift the quick lock/release lever and pull back on crank handle to slide open the vise.
2) To tighten:
a) Push the crank handle forward to slide the vise against the work piece.
b) Push down on the quick lock/release lever to engage its threads with vise screw.
c) Rotate the crank handle clockwise to tighten the vise against the work pieces.
4.9 ADJUSTABLE POSITIVE DEPTH STOP
The adjustable depth stop is threaded into the base of the saw at the rear. By raising and lowering the depth
stop bolt with a wrench you can control how far the abrasive wheel travels when the saw handle is
depressed.
This feature is particularly useful:
- to increase wheel travel as the abrasive wheel wears,
-
to cinch up the saws’ handle against the transport chain when moving the saw or when storing,
- to limit travel of the abrasive wheel after installation of a new abrasive wheel.
ERATING
4.10 POWER SUPPLY
Before operating the cut-off saw, check the power supply and make sure it meets the requirements listed on
the nameplate. A substantial voltage drop will cause loss of power and the saw to overheat.
Common causes of power loss and saw overheating is insufficient extension cord size and multiple tools
operating from the same power source.
