MG305/230VCE & MG314/230VCE
Cut-off saw main body
1 x 17mm open ended spanner
1 x Face spanner
3.1.
Open the carton and locate the hand grip on the upper part of the arm.
Firmly grasp the hand grip and remove the saw carefully ensuring you maintain
a correct posture for lifting.
3.2.
Set the saw on a flat, stable work bench, or surface strong enough to support the saw
and any workpiece. For a permanent fixture detach the rubber feet by removing the fixing
screws, and bolt the saw to an appropriate work bench.
3.3.
The motor head is locked in the down position for transportation. To release the motor head
hold the handle (fig 1 A) firmly in the down position whilst removing the holding chain from
the retaining hook located at the back of the underside of the handle. Continue to hold
the handle down in order to counter the return spring and preventing the motor head from
ascending too violently. With handle lift the motor head up to its maximum height.
3.4.
Remove safety packing from the vice.
3.5.
Take the guard control lever (fig1 H) and attach it to the vice angle bracket (fig 1 C, & fig 2. 2) by fixing
the M6x30mm bolt, spacer, guard control lever (fig 2.1), and the Ø6 washer, tighten with the M6 self locking nut.
Before using saw, check that wheel is perpendicular to the base of machine and all parts are
in good order and correctly secured.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
p
WARNING!
ensure the saw is unplugged from the mains power supply before attempting to place workpiece in the vice, and that the safety
instructions in chapter one are carefully followed.
4.1.
Securing workpiece.
4.1.1. Secure workpiece in the base vice (fig1 D).
We recommend that you place a block of wood (slightly narrower than the work piece) in the vice below the item to be cut
to act as a support.
4.1.2. Additional cutting capacity up to 214mm may be obtained by re-positioning the back jaw of the vice (E) in the rear vice holes
(F) and fully securing.
4.1.3. When cutting long pieces use additional supports along the length.
4.2.
The On and Off switch.
Start the saw by depressing the power trigger located on the handgrip (fig 1 item G).
Release the trigger will stop the saw.
3
Avoid subjecting disc to excessive strain, always ease disc down against workpiece (a harsh downward impact may break the disc). Do not
over press on the down handle in order to cut workpiece. Maintain a controlled adequate progression, which will emit a maximum of sparks.
7
DO NOT force the saw to achieve a task it was not designed to perform.
7
DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the saw, and keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
7
DO NOT get the saw wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
p
WARNING!
DO NOT use saw where there is flammable liquids, solids or gases such as paint solvents, including waste wiping rags etc.
7
DO NOT operate the saw if any parts are missing or damaged as this may cause failure or possible personal injury.
7
DO NOT position your body in line with the abrasive disc whilst cutting, and DO NOT remove the safety guard whilst in use.
7
DO NOT attempt to remove a workpiece until the disc has stopped rotating.
7
DO NOT touch the workpiece close to the cut as it will be very hot. Allow to cool. The cut edge of the workpiece will also be very sharp.
7
DO NOT leave the saw operating whilst unattended, and avoid un-intentional starting of the saw.
7
DO NOT operate the saw when you are tired, under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
