bottom exposed (fig U). After locating centrally, lift the

spark guard FULLY, ensuring the two parts rotate correctly

and do not detach. With the guard in the FULLY upright

position, there is only one threaded hole exposed. Replace

the spark shield locking screw fully in this hole (fig V).

Operate the spark guard up and down to ensure it is

correctly located prior to turning the cut off saw on.

NOTE.

Ensure that the depth

stop is adjusted to the correct

height before commencing

operation. The adjustable

depth stop is threaded into the

base of the machine at the

rear. By raising and lowering

the depth stop bolt with the

5mm hex key (fig W) the

travel of the cut off wheel can be controlled. This feature is

particularly useful to prevent contact with the work bench

surface when a new disc is fitted or increase disc travel as

the abrasive disc wears. The depth stop should be checked

and adjusted everytime a new disc is fitted.

Operation

1. Make all adjustments including

setting the vice, fence position

and fence angle.

2. Ensure that the workpiece is

fully secured before starting

any cutting.

NOTE.

Ensure you are wearing

the appropriate safety gear

including eye protection and hearing protection.
3. Check that the disc, guard and tool are in good condition.
4. Plug the cordset into the mains socket.
5. Push the lock-off button and pull the trigger to start

the tool.

6. Bring the disc down onto the workpiece and allow it to

cut its way through the workpiece without undue force.

7. Once the cut is finished, raise the arm to clear the disc

from the workpiece, release the trigger and the cut off

saw will stop. Please note that the disc will continue to

turn for a few revolutions even though the saw is switched

off. Keep your hands well away from the moving disc.
