OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 

CARRYING THE CHOP SAW

When carrying the chop saw from one 

location to another, always lower the 

swing arm (1) to its lowest position and 

loop the lowest safety chain link (2) over 

the pin (3). This will hold the blade and 

swing arm in the “down” position for 

easier lifting of the chop saw. Once the 

safety chain has been placed over the 

pin, carefully lift the chop saw using the 

carrying handle.

SELECTING THE WORK SURFACE

 

It is important to place the chop saw on 

a solid, flat work surface that will not 

shift during operation of the chop saw. 

Locating the chop saw near an electrical 

outlet will eliminate the need for an 

extension cord.

Hot metal sparks and sharp metal pieces 

will damage the work surface to some 

degree. Make sure you consider this fact 

when selecting the work surface. A non-

flammable surface, such as a metal bench, 

will be less likely to be damaged during 

cutting.

 

   WARNING!

Always disconnect your chop saw from the 

power source when carrying it to another 

location, replacing the cut-off blade,

clamping material in the vise, adjusting the

guard, cleaning or when not in use. 

Disconnecting the chop saw will prevent

accidental starting that could cause serious

personal injury. 

WARNING!

The chop saw is very heavy. For safety in 

carrying the chop saw, always lift it using 

one hand on the carrying handle and the 

other under the base.

SETTING THE DEPTH STOP

The maximum cut depth is controlled by 

adjusting the depth stop.

1.  Lift the swing arm (1) upward as far as 

it will go. 

2.  Loosen the depth stop lock nut (2) by 

turning it counter-clockwise using a 

14 mm wrench. 

3.  Turn the depth stop screw (3) to raise 

or lower it. Adjust until the cut-off 

blade enters the base slot no more 

than 3/16” (5 mm) when the swing 

arm is fully lowered and contacts the 

top of the depth stop screw. 

4.  When the depth stop screw is 

correctly set, lock it in place by 

tightening the lock nut clockwise.

 

   WARNING!

Never place the chop saw near any 

flammable liquids or items that can be 

damaged by the sparks thrown by the chop 

saw during cutting. The hot sparks can 

ignite flammable liquids.
