■ HOW TO USE THE TOOL
NOTE: Keep in mind that, although this
machine appears similar to a Cut-Off Saw
(or Chop-Saw) with abrasive wheels, This
machine requires much less feed pressure.
Secure the workpiece properly as
1.
described above in: "USING THE VISE &
FENCE SYSTEM" The workpiece should
be straight and firmly clamped to avoid
possible movement and pinching as
the cut nears completion. Provide
adequate support for long or wide
workpieces.
Check the lower guards for normal
2.
functioning.
Squeeze the trigger switch and allow
3.
the motor to reach full speed.
Press the carriage lock with the thumb,
4.
then smoothly lower the motor head to
contact the workpiece and begin the
cut. Remember to never stand in line
with the blade, rather, stand slightly to
the side. Always proceed gently at the
beginning and finish of the cut.
While cutting, control the downforce.
5.
Adjust your feed pressure so there is just
enough downforce to keep the sparks
to a minimum. It is not necessary to
force the cut. Let the blade do the
cutting at the rate of speed permitted

by the type of cut and workpiece.
Increase feed pressure as the blade
cuts through the thicker cross-sections
(to maintain minimum "sparking").
Decrease the feed pressure as the
blade cuts through the thinner cross
sections.
CAUTION: If the blade binds or stalls in the
cut, release the trigger switch immediately.
After completing the cut, raise the motor
head fully clear of the workpiece before
releasing the power switch. Confirm that the
blade has come to a complete stop before
removing or
securing the workpiece, or changing the
workpiece angle.
■ MAINTENANCE
Periodically blow out all air passages with
dry compressed air. All plastic parts should
be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER
use solvents to clean plastic parts. They
could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage
the material. Wear safety glasses while
using compressed air.
It is recommended that, at least once a
year, you take the tool to an Authorized
Service Center for a thorough cleaning,
checking and lubrication.
■ THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing
part and must be replaced when they
reach their wear limit. This machine is
equipped with full-stop type brushes. When
