OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields during power tool operation. If the
operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
• The cut-off wheel (W) is suited for small cut-off
operations only. Using the cut-off wheel in a
grinding operation will cause the wheel to crack and
break, resulting in serious personal injury.
To make the safest and best possible cut, follow
these directions:
a. Clamp the workpiece securely so that the
workpiece will not move during the cut. If the
workpiece is too small to clamp it securely, do
not use this tool to cut it.
b. Support the workpiece near the cut.
c. Support the workpiece so that the cut is always to the operator's side and not directly in
line with the operator's body
d. Hold the tool firmly while cutting and always be ready and able to manage the cut. Use the
auxiliary handle (T) if needed.
e. Avoid placing your hand on the workpiece while making a cut. (Fig. 8a).
f. Always place the saw on the portion of the workpiece that is supported, not on the "cut off"
piece (Fig. 8b).
g. Draw a guideline along the desired cutting line before beginning the cut.
h. The guide notch (B) will only give an approximate line of cut when used with standard
wheels (such as parts U and W). Make sample cuts in scrap lumber to verify the actual line
of cut.
i. Avoid jamming, twisting or pinching the wheel within the workpiece or otherwise applying
excessive side pressure to the wheel.
NOTICE: If the battery is inserted when the tool switch is in the "ON" position, the tool will not
run. Turn the tool off, then turn it on to begin work.
Cutting tile
a. Score the tile first along your cut line, making multiple passes to progressively cut through
the tile.
b. For cuts that extend to the edge of a tile, cut all the way through edge(s) along your cut line
c. This tool does not use wheels designed for face-grinding. If your cut requires a smooth,
finished edge, use an appropriate tile finishing tool to refine the tile edge.
Cutting metal
It is possible to perform limited cutting on small stock such as copper pipe, conduit, rebar,
threaded rod, coated wire shelving, aluminum sheet with this tool.
a. Work with a moderate rate of feed, adapted to the material being cut. Do not exert side
pressure onto the cutting wheel, tilt, or wiggle the tool.
b. When cutting profiles and square bar stock, it is best to start at the smallest cross section.
Always follow precautions for kickback.
c. Do not apply side pressure to the cutting wheel to reduce wheel speed.
d. The tool should always be used so that sparks are directed away from user.
e. After each use, remove the wheel and clean the inside and outside of the guard with
compressed air. Preventive maintenance of the guard will reduce the possibility of an accident.
