Usage (Fig. 1, 2)
Refer to Figure 2 for proper body positioning during use.
To start the tool, depress the trigger switch (M). To turn the tool off,
release the trigger switch. Keep hands and material from wheel until
it has coasted to a stop.
To prevent unauthorized use of tool, install a standard padlock (not
included) into the padlock hole (N) located in the trigger.
Removal and Installation of Wheels
(Fig. 7)
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of injury, turn unit off and dis-
connect machine from power
source before installing and
removing accessories, before
adjusting or changing set-ups or
when making repairs. Be sure
the trigger switch is in the OFF
position. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
The Quick-Change blade clamp
requires no tools to change the
blade.
1. Push in wheel lock lever
(L) and rotate wheel (J) by
hand until wheel lock lever
engages slot in inside flange
(S) to lock wheel. Loosen the
Quick-Change blade clamp

3. Make sure flange surfaces are clean and flat. Install the new
abrasive wheel by reversing the above steps.
4. Tighten the Quick-Change blade clamp clockwise until the knob
clicks as least three times to ensure the knob is tight. The Quick-
Change blade clamp cannot be overtightened.
NOTE: Do not overtighten bolt. An extra blade bolt (O) and blade
bolt washer (P) is stored on the back of the motor arm. The bolt and
washer must be used together to safely clamp blade.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Check the work surface that the
chop saw rests on when replacing with a new abrasive wheel. It is
possible that the wheel may contact ANY ITEMS OR STRUCTURE
THAT EXTENDS ABOVE work surface (under the base) when the
arm is fully lowered.
Mounting (Fig. 8, 9)
CAUTION: Tool must be supported on stable, level, non-skid sur-
face to prevent unexpected movement when operating.
PROCEDURE FOR PERMANENT MOUNTING
1. Drill four holes 5/16" (8 mm) through the work surface (Fig. 8).
2. Insert 1/4-20 screws down through the holes in the base and
through holes in mounting surface. The approximate length of the
screws should be the thickness of the mounting surface plus 4"
(102 mm).
CRADLE MOUNTING
1. Cut two boards approximately 20" long x 2" high x 4" wide (508 x
50.8 x 101.6 mm).
2. Place chop saw at desired work location.
3. Place boards tightly along side, and nail to work surface (Fig. 9).
