Spark Defl ector Adjustment (fi g. 1)
To best deflect sparks away from surrounding
persons and materials, loosen the screw (b), adjust
the spark deflector (c) and then retighten screw. Do
not allow cordset to come into contact with deflector
or sparks as damage to cordset may occur.
Depth Stop (fi g. 1)
Depth stop is set at the factory for a new 355mm
(14") wheel to prevent wheel from cutting into the
supporting surface. To allow more depth of cut, use
the flat wrench provided (g) to loosen the depth stop
bolt (m) and raise bolt to desired height and then
turn jam nut m) clockwise until seated firmly on the
casting. Securely tighten the depth stop bolt before
use.
CAUTION: When changing to a
new wheel, readjust depth stop to
original position to prevent cutting into
supporting surface.
Trigger Switch (fi g. 1)
To start the tool, depress the trigger switch (n). To
turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. Keep
hands and material from wheel until it has coasted
to a stop.
To prevent unauthorized use of tool, install a
standard padlock (not included) into the padlock
hole (o) located in the trigger.
Material Clamping and Supporting
(fi g. 2, 3)
• Angles are best clamped and cut with both legs
resting against base.
• A spacer block slightly narrower than the
workpiece can be used to increase wheel
utilization (fig. 2).
• Long workpieces must be supported by a block
so it will be level with top of base (fig. 3). The
cut off end should be free to fall downward to
avoid wheel binding.
Vise Operation (fi g. 4)
The vise (f) has a quick-travel feature. To release
the vise when it is clamped tightly, turn the crank
(h) counterclockwise one or two times to remove
clamping pressure. Lift vise lever (i) up. Pull crank
assembly out as far as desired. Vise may be pushed
forward into work without cranking. Lower vise lever
(i) then tighten vise (f) on work by using crank (h).
Fence Operation (fi g. 5, 6)
The fence (e) can be adjusted two ways: to change
desired cutting angle and to change spacing
between the fence and vise.
TO CHANGE THE DESIRED CUTTING ANGLE
Use the wrench provided to loosen (do not
remove) the two fence bolts (p). Align the desired
angle indicator line with the slot line (q) in the base
(d). Securely tighten both fence bolts before use.
For more accurate square cuts, disconnect the
power supply, loosen the two fence bolts, push arm
down until wheel extends into base. Place a square
against the wheel and adjust fence against the
square. Securely tighten both fence bolts before use.
When making a miter cut, the vise (f) may not
clamp securely, depending on the thickness of the
workpiece and the miter angle. Other aids (such as
spring, bar or C-clamps) will be necessary to secure
the workpiece to the fence when making these cuts.
TO CHANGE SPACING BETWEEN THE FENCE AND VISE
Using the wrench provided, loosen and remove
the two fence bolts (p). Adjust the fence (e) to
desired locations. Insert both fence bolts in provided
locations. Securely tighten both fence bolts before
use.
Removal and Installation of Wheels
(fi g. 1, 7, 8)
WARNING: Turn off and unplug the
tool before making any adjustments
or removing or installing
attachments or accessories. Be
sure the trigger switch is in the OFF
position. Do not make any adjustment
while the wheel is in motion. Do not
make any adjustment while chop saw is
plugged into power supply.
1. Push in wheel lock lever (l) and rotate wheel
(j) by hand until wheel lock lever engages slot
in inside flange (r) to lock wheel. Loosen the
bolt (s) counterclockwise in the center of the
abrasive wheel with the included flat wrench (g).
Bolt has right-hand thread.
2. Remove the bolt (s), washer (t), outside flange
(u) and old wheel(j).
3. Make sure flange surfaces are clean and flat.
Install the new abrasive wheel by reversing the
above steps.
4. Do not overtighten bolt.
