WARNING!



Never permit bystanders or

animals near the unit when

starting or operating the unit.



Be aware of kickback!

Kickback may force the cut-off

wheel up and back toward the

operator lightning-fast. Kick-

back can occur whenever the

upper half of the cut-off wheel

touches an object. Never cut

an object using the upper-

half of the cut-off wheel.



When operating, always wear

snug-fitting clothing, safety

gloves, safety non-skid foot-

wear, hearing protection, a

dust-proof mask, a helmet and

goggles.

WARNING!

When using the cut-off saw, the

wheel guard must be securely in

position as a protection against a

broken wheel. If the wheel guard

is not in place, a broken wheel

could project fragments at high

speed and strike you or others,

possibly resulting in serious injury.

Wet or Dry Operation

This unit is designed to be operated

for either dry or wet cutting. A water

dust-suppression kit is available for

this unit but is not supplied in the

unit packaging. Please refer to the

assembly and operating instructions

supplied with the water dust-suppres-

sion kit.

Adjusting Wheel Guard Angle

Adjust the position of the wheel guard

so that fragments will not fly toward

you if the wheel fractures. To reposi-

tion the wheel guard, loosen the lock

knob (counterclockwise). When the

wheel guard is positioned correctly,

securely tighten the lock knob.

See Figure 14.

Cutting

This unit performs most efficiently

when cutting between 8,500 and 9,500

min

-1

(rpm). While running the engine

at full throttle, apply slight pressure to

the cut-off wheel against an object so

that engine speed stays at 8,500–9,500

min

-1

(rpm). Too much pressure to the

wheel will lower wheel speed, reducing

cutting efficiency considerably.
1. Make sure you have a clear work

area and secure footing.

2. Position the cut-off wheel vertically

to an object. Start cutting at a low

speed and then gradually accelerate

the speed.
