Removing or installing cut-off wheel
CAUTION:
Be sure to tighten the toolless
clamp securely. Insufficient tightening may result in
severe injury.

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.

Maximum cutting capacity varies depending on the
cutting angle and workpiece shape.

Securing workpiece

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.
