FEATURES 1. A stop is provided to restrict the height to which the arm may be lowered. The stop is in the form of a bolt, arrowed in fig. 3 which should not require adjusting. Fig.3 2. The vice is provided with a quick adjust device (shown at A, fig.4). The block, through which the screw passes, pivots, and may be lifted off the screw thread. This releases the screw, and hence the vice jaw which may then be quickly moved into contact with the work.
OPERATION (Ref. Fig. 1) Ensuring the workpiece is properly clamped, and observing all precautions previously mentioned, switch ON by pressing the safety lock button before pulling the ON/OFF trigger switch upwards. Allow the wheel to reach full speed then gently lower it on to the work. DO NOT try to cut too harshly. The switch is a ‘dead man’ type and the motor will stop therefore, when it is released. NOTE: Take great care when cutting with a new wheel.
Fig.8 The Motor Maintenance to the Motor is limited to changing the carbon brushes. These will naturally wear with use and require replacing. They should be checked periodically as follows: 1. Unscrew and remove the plastic covers on the end of the motor with a screwdriver 2. Pull out the brushes complete with springs and retainers. 3. Check the brush length, if the ‘wear line’ cannot be seen (‘A’ fig.8), the pair must be renewed. 4.
