When the cut-off wheel has worn down considerably,
use a spacer block of sturdy, non-flammable material
behind the workpiece as shown in the figure. You can
more efficiently utilize the worn wheel by using the mid
point on the periphery of the wheel to cut the workpiece.

When cutting workpieces over 85 mm wide at an angle,
attach a straight piece of wood (spacer) to the guide
plate as shown in the figure. Attach this spacer with
screws through the holes in the guide plate.

If you use a spacer block which is slightly narrower than
the workpiece as shown in the figure, you can also utilize
the wheel economically when worn down the wheel.

OPERATION
Hold the handle firmly. Switch on the tool and wait until
the wheel attains full speed before lowering gently into
the cut. When the wheel contacts the workpiece,
gradually bear down on the handle to perform the cut.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT
UNTIL THE WHEEL HAS COME TO A COMPLETE
STOP before returning the handle to the fully elevated
position.
CAUTION:
•
Proper handle pressure during cutting and
maximum cutting efficiency can be determined by
the amount of sparks that is produced while cutting.
Your pressure on the handle should be adjusted to
produce the maximum amount of sparks. Do not
force the cut by applying excessive pressure on
the handle. Reduced cutting efficiency, premature
wheel wear, as well as, possible damage to the
tool, cut-off wheel or workpiece may result.
