24. The dust generated by certain woods and wood products
can be injurious to your health. Always operate machinery in
well ventilated areas and provide for proper dust removal. Use
wood dust collection systems whenever possible.
25. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• Lead from lead-base paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR ABRASIVE CUT-OFF SAWS
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE YOURABRASIVE CUT-OFF SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLEDAND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. If you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of
abrasive cut-off saws, obtain advice from your supervisor,
instructor or other qualified person.
2. WEAR safety goggles, face shield, respirator, body
apron, headcovering, safety shoes, long tight-fitting
sleeves, and gloves.
3. Use only recommended reinforced abrasive wheels
with blotters.
4. Tighten arbor screw and all clamps before operating.
5. Make sure spindle lock is disengaged before
operating.
6. Always keep guards in place and working properly.
7. Keep hands clear of cut-off wheel.
8. Secure workpiece properly. Work should be straight
and firmly clamped to avoid possible movement and
pinching as the cut nears completion.
9. Never cut anything freehand.
10. Never reach behind or beneath the cut-off wheel.
11. Make sure the wheel has come to a complete stop
before removing or securing workpiece or changing
workpiece angle.
12. Make sure the inside surfaces of the wheel flanges
(as well as the sides of the wheel) are free from any
foreign matter.
13. When mounting the wheel, care should be taken to
tighten the arbor screw only enough to hold the wheel
firmly and to prevent wheel slippage. Excessive tightening
may result in damaging the wheel and springing the
wheel flanges.
14. Use only abrasive wheels rated at 3900 RPM or
higher.
15. Always check the wheel for cracks or other damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged wheel
immediately.
16. Use only wheel flanges specified for your machine.
17. Make sure abrasive wheel is not contacting
workpiece before switch is turned on.
18. Allow the motor to come up to full speed before
starting cut.
19. After turning machine on, lower wheel slightly until it
comes in contact with the workpiece and then draw wheel
firmly through the cut. Do not allow the wheel to chatter
and jump as this may cause the wheel to wear out of
round, resulting in poor cutting and possible broken
wheels.
20. Any material is easily cut when placed in position for
the wheel to cut with the least arc of contact.
21. The number of cuts per wheel, as well as the quality
of cut, may vary considerably with the cutting time. Fast
cuts cause the wheel to wear more rapidly but also help
to reduce discoloration and burr. this is especially
noticeable when cutting light gage tubing. When coming
through the bottom wall, with the longer arc of contact, do
not slow-up but give a vigorous pull. This keeps the metal
from overheating and dragging off in a heavy burr.
22. Use the wheel guard at all times.
23. Never operate the machine in an area with flammable
liquids or gases.
24. To avoid electrical shock, do not use under damp
conditions or expose to rain.
25. This tool is designed for ferrous metals only. Do not
attempt to cut wood, masonry, aluminum, or magnesium
with this tool.
26. After installing a new wheel, never start the tool with
a person in line with the wheel. Always run the tool for
approximately one minute before cutting. If the wheel has
an undetected crack or flaw, it could burst in less than
one minute.
27. Shut off power before servicing or adjusting tool.
28. Should any part of your machine be missing, dam-
aged, fail in any way, or any electrical component fail to
perform properly, shut off switch and remove plug from
power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged, or failed
parts before resuming operation.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Power Source
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tool. This circuit should not be less than #12
wire and should be protected with a 20 amp fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line,
make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position and be sure the electric current is of the same charac-
teristics as indicated on the tool. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low
voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE
OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Grounding Instructions
WARNING: DO NOT EXPOSE THE TOOLTO RAIN OR OPERATE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
All grounded, cord-connected tools:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided - if it
will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician
or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded.
Figure 2
Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for
use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating
less than 150 volts will have a grounding plug
similar to illustration.
WARNING: INALLCASES, MAKE SURE THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.
Fig. 2
Extension Cords
Figure 1
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and
is a 3-wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding
type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the
tool’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current of the tool.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power and overheating. Extension
cords should be no longer than 50 ft. Fig. 1

full speed before touching the workpiece with
the wheel.
Figure 15
Lower the wheel (A) lightly until it makes contact
with the workpiece. Continue to firmly push
down on the handle while the cut is being made.
NOTE: Do not allow the wheel to chatter and
jump as this can cause the wheel to wear out of
round, resulting in poor quality of cut and, possi-
bly,
broken
wheels.
Figure 16
Do not slow up when coming through the
bottom of the cut. This keeps the metal from
overheating and dragging off in a heavy burr.
Figure 17
This view shows a finished cut-off operation.
NOTE: The number of cuts per wheel, as well as
the quality of cut, will vary with the speed and/or
type of material. Fast cuts cause the wheel to
wear more rapidly, but also help to reduce
discoloration and burr.
