ASSEMBLY
WARNING: do not connect the saw to power source until assembly is complete. Failure to comply could result
in accidental starting and possible injury.
Cut-Off Wheel Removal
1. Be sure the tool is disconnected from the power source.
2. Raise the tool to its full open position, remove nut on the blade cover and rotate the lower wheel guard downward,
exposing the hex head bolt which secures the abrasive wheel to the wheel arbor.
3. Push in the shaft lock lever and rotate the wheel until the safety lock level engages, locking the wheel in place.
4. White holding the shaft lock lever in place, use the supplied wrench and loosen the hex head bolt by rotating it
counter clockwise. Remove the hex bolt, washer, outside flange and abrasive wheel.
Cut-Off Wheel Installation
1. Be sure the tool is disconnected from the power source.
2. Inspect the replacement wheel for defects such as cracks, chipping, and correct speed rating. If defects are found or
the speed rating is not greater than 4400 rpm discard the wheel and select another.
3. Remove any debris from the inside flange and inner washer. Position the new abrasive wheel over the inner washer
and against the inside flange.
4. Clean and align the outside flange to the wheel arbor, then slide it onto the arbor until it rests flush against the
abrasive wheel.
5. Insert the hex head bolt onto the threaded end of the wheel arbor and rotate it in a clockwise direction until snug.
Then depress the shaft lock lever to prevent the shaft from rotating, use the supplied wrench to securely tighten the hex
head bolt to hold the abrasive wheel firmly in place.
WARNING: Do not over tighten the hex bolt. Over tightening can cause the new wheel to crack, resulting in premature
failure and possible serious injury.
6. Return the wheel guard to its lowest position and replace nut to secure wheel guard.
Lock Switch
To prevent unauthorized use of the cut-off saw, install a padlock through the hole in the switch as shown below. Use
padlock with a 13/64”-shank diameter. When the lock is installed and locked, the switch is inoperable. Store the padlock
key in another location.
ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustable Stationary Vice
The adjustable stationary vise is located on the base of your cut-off saw. This vice can be rotated to attain cutting
angles from 0 to 45° and moved rearward to allow greater cutting widths.
WARNING: Always unplug the saw from power source before making adjustment or performing routine maintenance.
Failure to heed this warning can result in serious injury.
Cutting Angle Adjustment/To Adjust the Angle of Cut:
1. Using the supplied wrench, loosen hex head bolts behind the vise fence.
2. Rotate the vise fence until the desired angle of the cut is aligned with the indicator groove in the saw base.
3. Check the angle of the vise fence to the abrasive wheel using a protractor, bevel square or similar device.
4. Using the supplied wrench, securely tighten the hex head bolts holding the vise to the saw base.
To Increase the Width of Cut of the Cut-Off Saw:
1. Using the supplied wrench, remove hex head bolts securing the vise to the cut-off saw base.
2. Reposition the curved slot of the vise base with the most rearward threaded hole in the saw base and install a hex
head bolt in this hole. DO NOT TIGHTEN.
3. Align the remaining vise bolt hole with the middle-threaded hole in the saw base and install a hex head bolt.
4. Check or adjust the cutting angle and securely tighten both hex head bolts with the supplied wrench.
