APPLICATIONS
This tool is intended for cutting the following
materials.
1/8˝ maximum thick sheet steel.
Floor and wall tile.
Concrete cinder blocks and bricks.
Reinforcing rod-generally under 5/8˝ diameter.
1/8˝ concrete wire mesh.
Electrical conduit 1/8˝ wall thickness.
1/8” maximum thick structural forms such as:
channels, angles, plate and etc.
ATTENTION: If you run the tool continuously
for more than 5 minutes, it is normal for the
housing to feel warm.
It is important to read and understand the
section in this manual called “Causes and
Operator Prevention of Recoil”.
When making a cut in sheet metal,
masonry, etc.: You may start your cut at the
end of the piece or you can plunge cut
somewhere in the body of the material.
In order to try to avoid recoil (a situation where
the wheel wants to skip out of the material) it
is recommended to make cuts in the same
direction as the rotation of the wheel (Fig. 4).
Overtightening the guard
adjustment screw can
permanently damage the locking
mechanism. Test the tightness of the lever
after each full turn of the adjustment screw.
To prevent recoil and
damage to the tool, always
ensure that the inner or outer flanges never
contacts the workpiece surface.
8. Generally, the harder the material being
worked on, the faster the wheel will wear.
9. When cutting thicker material, never make
the cut in one pass. Make successive passes
until you reach desired depth.
10. When using the Diamond Wheel, do not
make long, continuous cuts. Allow the blade to
cool for approximately 10 seconds for each
minute cutting.
