assure proper tightening.
CAUTION:
Always use only the proper inner
and outer flanges which are provided with the
tool.
CAUTION:
Always lower the safety guard
after replacing the wheel.
CAUTION:
Wear gloves when handling

OPERATION
CAUTION:
Proper handle pressure during
cutting and maximum cutting efficiency can
be determined by the amount of sparks that is
produced while cutting. Do not force the cut
by applying excessive pressure on the handle.
Reduced cutting efficiency, premature wheel wear, as
well as, possible damage to the tool, cut-off wheel or
workpiece may result.
Hold the handle firmly. Switch on the tool and wait until
the cut-off wheel attains full speed before lowering
gently into the cut. When the cut-off wheel contacts
the workpiece, gradually bear down on the handle to
perform the cut. When the cut is completed, switch off
the tool and wait until the cut-off wheel has come to
a complete stop before returning the handle to the fully
elevated position.
Cutting capacity
Maximum cutting capacity varies depending on the
cutting angle and workpiece shape.

Securing workpiece
CAUTION:
Always place the thread holder on
the shaft threads when securing the workpiece.
Failure to do so may result in insufficient securing of
the workpiece. This could cause the workpiece to be
ejected or cause a dangerous breakage of the cut-off
wheel.
While the thread holder is lifted, the vise plate can be
moved in and out quickly. To grip a workpiece, push the
handle until the vise plate contacts the workpiece then
return the thread holder. Turn the handle clockwise until
the workpiece is securely retained.
