device (13).
The saw is equipped with a carry-handle (8) to
n
make it easier to transport.
6.2 Vise (Fig. 3)
Every workpiece has to be fastened in the vise (15)
before it is cut.
Flip up the top half of the nut (a).
n
Pull out the spindle (5) far enough for the work-
n
piece to be clamped between the clamping faces
(4/7) of the vise (15).
Note: You do not have to turn the spindle (5)
when the top half of the nut (a) has been
flipped up. The spindle (5) can be pulled out or
pushed in to the exact amount required.
Push forward the spindle (5) to the point where
n
the clamping face (4) touches the workpiece.
Flip down the top half of the nut (a) again so
n
that the spindle (5) and both halves of the nut
engage with each other.
Turn the hand crank (6) to safely secure the
n
workpiece in the vise (15).
6.3 Miter cuts (Fig. 4)
The vise can be swiveled from 0° to 45° in order to
make miter cuts.
Slacken the two screws (16/17).
n
Turn the clamping face (7) of the vise (15) to the
n
required angle.
Retighten the screws (16/17).
n
When you clamp the workpiece, the front
n
clamping face (4) will automatically swing into
the correct position and align itself with the
workpiece in order to ensure that the workpiece
is safely fastened.
6.4 Adjusting the stop screw (Fig. 5)
The downward movement of the cutting-off wheel
can be adjusted with the stop screw (18).
This is necessary to compensate wheel wear – as
the cutting-off wheel becomes smaller in diameter it
would no longer be able to cut right through the
workpiece.
Undo the lock nut (19).
n
Turn the stop screw (18) in or out as required.
n
Lower the saw head (1) to check whether the
n
cutting off wheel (11) reaches the clamping face
(7) of the vise (15 ).
Retighten the lock nut (19).
n
6.5 Replacing the cutting-off wheel (Fig. 6 / 7/8)
Pull out the power plug.
n
Move the saw head (1) to its upper position of
n
rest.
Swing up the adjustable guard (3) for the cutting-
n
off wheel and hook it in place.
Open the wing nut (20) and turn the side guard
n
(21) for the cutting-off wheel to the rear.
Push the shaft lock (9) to the right and turn the
n
cutting-off sheel (11) slowly with the other hand
until the shaft lock (9) engages.
Use the supplied open-ended wrench (23) to
n
turn out the shaft screw (22) in counterclockwise
direction.
Remove the shaft screw (22), washer, outer
n
flange (24) and worn cutting-off wheel (11).
Install the new cutting-off wheel in reverse order
n
and tighten.
Important! The flanges have to be thoroughly
cleaned prior to mounting the cutting-off wheel.
Note the direction arrow!
n
Use only recommended, reinforced cutting-off
n
wheels and take care to tighten the shaft screw
(22) just enough to hold the wheel (11) securely
in place and prevent it from spinning.
Overtightening the shaft screw (11) may damage
the cutting-off wheel.
Turn the side guard (21) for the cutting-off wheel
n
back to the front and fasten in place with the
thumb screw (20).
Unhook the guard for the cutting-off wheel, so
n
that the adjustable guard (3) can be flipped
forward again.
7. Using the cutting-off machine
7.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 8)
Press the ON/OFF (10) switch to turn on the saw.
n
To deactivate the cutting-off machine again, let
n
go of the switch (10).
7.2 Overload cut-out
The motor is protected against overload by an
overload cut-out (14). If the rated current is
exceeded, the overload cut-out switches the
appliance off. After a short cooling-off phase, the
appliance can be switched back on by pressing the
overload switch.
7.3 Making a cut (Fig. 9)
Clamp the workpiece securely in the vise.
n
Switch on the machine and wait for the motor to
n
reach its top speed.
Push down the saw head (1) by the handle (2)
n
until the cutting-off wheel makes slight contact
with the workpiece.
Move the cutting-off wheel (11) smoothly
n
through the material you want to cut.
Important! Avoid causing the cutting-off wheel
to jump or chatter. This will only result in cuts of
poor quality or a broken wheel.
