and outer flanges which are provided with the
tool.

dures in reverse. Make sure to fit the hole of cut-off
wheel to the ring and return the safety guard.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Proper handle pressure during
cutting and maximum cutting efficiency can
be determined by the amount of sparks that is
produced while cutting. 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.
Hold the handle firmly. Switch on the tool and wait until the
cut-off wheel attains full speed before lowering gently into
the cut. When the cut-off 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 cut-off wheel has come to a complete stop
before returning the handle to the fully elevated position.
Cutting capacity
Maximum cutting capacity varies depending on the
cutting angle and workpiece shape.

Workpiece shape
NOTE: A workpiece thinner than 1.6 mm is recom-
mended for cutting with this tool.
Securing workpiece
CAUTION:
Always place the thread holder on
the shaft threads when securing the workpiece.
Failure to do so may result in insufficient securing of
the workpiece. This could cause the workpiece to be
ejected or cause a dangerous breakage of the cut-off
wheel.
While the thread holder is lifted, the vise plate can be
moved in and out quickly. To grip a workpiece, push the
handle until the vise plate contacts the workpiece then
return the thread holder. Turn the handle clockwise until
the workpiece is securely retained.
