Removing and Installing Cut-Off Wheels
Use only
MILWAUKEE
14" Abrasive Cut-Off
Wheels, 3/32” thick with this tool. Before operating
the tool, make sure the wheel is in good condition
as described in the “Specifi c Safety Rules”.
To change wheels:
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Raise the head.
3. Push up the lower guard to expose the hex bolt.
Press in the spindle lock button and use the
wrench provided to loosen the hex bolt (coun-
terclockwise).
4. Remove the hex bolt, washer, outer fl ange and
cut-off wheel. Do not remove the inner fl ange.
5. Check the inner and outer fl anges to be sure
they are in good condition. Remove any nicks,
burrs, and debris from the mounting hardware,
which could cause uneven cutting pressure and
result in wheel damage.
6. Install the cut-off wheel, outer fl ange, washer,
and hex bolt onto the spindle, as shown.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
use only the proper wheel for this machine.

To
adjust the vise
:
1. Pull the lock lever back.
2. Pull the vise handle out.
3. Place the workpiece fl at on the base and against
the fence.
4. Push down the lock lever.
5. Slide in the vise handle to press the vise plate
againce the workpiece.
6. Turn the vise handle clockwise to tighten the vise
plate against the workpiece.
7. Press in the spindle lock button while using the
wrench provided to tighten the hex bolt (clockwise).
8. Release the lower guard.
9. Before starting a cut, step back from the tool
and make a trial run to confi rm that the wheel
is in good condition. Before using a new cut-off
wheel, run the tool for at least 3 minutes. Before
starting work, run the tool for at least 1 minute.
Adjusting the Depth of Cut
The depth adjustment bolt can be adjusted to
change the depth of cut. When adjusted properly,
the depth adjustment bolt prevents the cut-off wheel
from contacting the surface under the base during
cutting. Cut-off wheels wear down as they are used
and the depth of cut may need to be increased.
To adjust the depth of cut:
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Use the wrench provided to loosen the hex nut.
3. Adjust the depth adjustment bolt to the desired
height.
4. Tighten the hex nut.
Supporting the Workpiece and Adjusting the
Vise and Fence System
The adjustable vise and fence system holds the
workpiece in the desired position. The vise plate
and fence can be moved backward or forward and
can be adjusted to any angle between 90° and 45°.
When adjusting the system,
the vise and fence should be
positioned so the centerline
of the wheel hub is in line with
or behind the centerline of the
workpiece, toward the rear of
the tool. The workpiece should
be resting fl ush with the base
of the cut-off machine.
To
adjust the fence:
1. Use the wrench provided to
loosen (counterclockwise)
the two fence bolts.
2. Adjust the position and angle
of the fence as desired.
3. Securely tighten (clock-
wise) the two fence bolts.
