[. . . ] Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. [. . . ] It adjusts from 0o to 45o(L&R) for making angled cuts. The hole pattern allows it to be moved forward when making cuts in tall or thick stock, such as square stock or tube stock. The hole pattern allows it to be moved back when making cuts in stock that is thin or wide, such as angle stock. A 355 mm wheel is the maximum wheel capacity of your cut-off machine. Never use a wheel that is too thick to allow outer flange to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger wheels will come in contact with the wheel guards, while thicker wheels will prevent the bolt from securing the wheel on the spindle. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF THE WHEEL (Fig. 3) Unplug your cut-off machine. QUICK LOCK-RELEASE LEVER A lock lever has been provided on your cut-off machine This feature allows you to open and close the vice clamp quickly without repetitive turning of the vice crank handle. WARNING: Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. Push down on machine arm and remove chain from hook on motor housing to release machine arm. Raise machine arm to its full lifted position. Overtightening can cause the new wheel to crack, resulting in premature failure and possible serious personal injury. PROTECTION GUARD In order to avoid spark splashing, under the operational condition, loose the screw and adjust angle of the protection guard. ADJUSTABLE FENCE (Fig. 4) The adjustable fence is located at the rear of your cut-off machine. It is used along with the vice clamp to provide a clamp for holding your workpiece securely when making cuts. It also makes your cut-off machine more versatile. The fence can be rotated to obtain cutting angles from 0° to 45° (L&R). It can also be moved back to allow greater cutting widths in thin stock, or moved forward to allow greater cutting depths in tall or thick stock. CUTTING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 4) Unplug your cut-off machine. WARNING: Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury. Loosen the fence quick lock, by using the wrench supplied. Then loosen the fence bolt to secure the adjustable fence. Rotate fence until the desired angle of cut on the scale is aligned with the indicator in machine base. For precise cuts, check the angle of cut for the fence against the abrasive wheel with a protractor, bevel square, or other similar device. [. . . ] Do not replace one side without replacing the other. Make sure curvature of brush matches curvature of motor and that the brush moves freely in brush tube. Make sure brush cap is oriented correctly (straight) and replaced. Do not overtighten. WARNING: Do not touch the cut material until it has cooled down or you can be burned easily. [. . . ]
