1. Mark a cutting line on the material to be cut.
2. Grasp rear handle 1 and front handle
3. Line up wheel with cutting line. Be sure nothing is near
or in line with the wheel.
4. Depress and hold trigger switch
to reach full speed, then slowly feed wheel into work
with firm pressure, working along the cutting line. Do
not force the tool. Cut only as deep as needed to reduce
the amount of dust produced. For maximum efficiency
and wheel life, keep the wheel speed high. To maintain
control of the cut-off machine, release pressure as you
near the end of your cut.
5. To stop tool, release trigger switch
6. Set the lock-off button 3
make sure the cutting wheel has come to a complete
stop before setting the cut-off machine down.
nOTE: Denser and thicker material should be cut in several
passes. The maximum depth of cut of each pass should not
exceed 1.0" (25.4 mm).
Cutting Slabs (Fig. L, M)

WARNING: Before making any cuts, make sure the
slab is properly secured on a non-slip surface.
1. Cut a guiding groove along a marked cutting line.
2. Cut deeper into the slab, never exceeding the maximum
depth of cut of 3.25" (83 mm), and leaving a ridge of
uncut material 25 as shown on Fig. L.

3. Cut through the slab at each end to ensure the slab
does not chip.
4. Break the slab.
nOTE: Curves must be made into the slab using several
straight cuts as shown in Fig. M, always making sure that the
cutting wheel does not become wedged.

Cutting Pipe (Fig. N, O)

WARNING: Before making any cuts, make sure the
pipe is properly secured on a non-slip surface.

WARNING: Pipe may break at any time during the
cut. Take precautions to maintain control of the tool
and avoid falling debris.

to the locked postion and
if the outer diameter of the pipe is smaller than the
maximum cutting depth
• Make one cut straight down, starting at the top of the
pipe through to the bottom of the pipe.
if the outer diameter of the pipe is larger than the
maximum cutting depth
Several cuts are needed on larger pipes and it is important
to make the cuts in the proper sequence.
if the pipe is in-ground and can not be rolled, make
the following sequence of cuts
1. Cut a guiding groove along a marked cutting line
making sure to avoid any metal reinforcements
if possible.
2. Start at the bottom of the pipe and use only the front
and upper part of the cutting wheel. This will reduce the
risk of kickback or pinching.
3. Using only the front and upper part of the cutting
wheel, make a cut on the oppsite lower side of the pipe.
4. Make a lateral cut on the top half of the pipe.
5. Make a second lateral cut on the opposite side of the
top half.
iMPORTAnT: To keep the pipe from pinching the
cutting wheel, make sure not to cut into the area of the
final cut.
6. Make sure all the top and bottom cuts are complete
when making the final top cut.
iMPORTAnT: Always make the final cut from the top
of the pipe. If the pipe is properly supported, this will
reduce the risk of pinching the cutting wheel. If any
pinching does occur it will be at the bottom of the
cutting wheel resulting in pull-away but not kickback.

if the pipe is free and can be rolled, make the
following sequence of cuts
1. Secure the pipe on a non-slip surface.
2. Using only the bottom part of the cutting wheel, make a
cut in the upper part of the pipe.
3. Roll the pipe and repeat steps 1 and 2 until the cut
is complete.
