To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug tool before
attaching or removing accessories. Use only specifically
recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.
Using the Transport Lock
The transport lock secures the handle for transporting and storing the
tool. To release the transport lock, push down the handle and pull out the
transport lock. To lock the transport lock, push down the handle and
push in the transport lock.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not use the FIXTEC nut on any
other tool. The FIXTEC nut is specifically designed for this
application and may be hazardous when used on other tools.
Using the FIXTEC Nut
The FIXTEC nut allows for wheel changes without tools. To use the
FIXTEC nut, pull out the hinged latch and spin off the nut. To replace the
nut, hand tighten the nut until it is secure. Do not over tighten the nut. This
may damage the wheel and the flanges. When the nut is tight, snap the
hinged latch back into position. Make sure the hinged latch is down
before using the tool.
To reduce the risk of injury, use only the proper TYPE 1
wheels made for this machine. DO NOT USE TOOTHED BLADES.

Abrasive Cut-Off Wheels, 3/32" wide with this tool. Before operating the
tool, make sure the wheel is in good condition as described in the
"Specific Safety Instructions - Abrasive Cut-Off Machines".
