OPERATION
CAUTION: Proper handle pressure during
cutting and maximum cutting efciency can
be determined by the amount of sparks that is
produced while cutting. Do not force the cut
by applying excessive pressure on the handle.
Reduced cutting efciency, premature wheel wear, as
well as, possible damage to the tool, cut-off wheel or
workpiece may result.
Hold the handle rmly. Switch on the tool and wait until the
cut-off wheel attains full speed before lowering gently into
the cut. When the cut-off wheel contacts the workpiece,
gradually bear down on the handle to perform the cut.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and wait
until the cut-off wheel has come to a complete stop
before returning the handle to the fully elevated position.
Cutting capacity
Maximum cutting capacity varies depending on the
cutting angle and workpiece shape.

NOTE: A workpiece thinner than 1.6 mm (1/16″) is
recommended for cutting with this tool.
Securing workpiece
CAUTION: Always place the thread holder on
the shaft threads when securing the workpiece.
Failure to do so may result in insufcient securing of
the workpiece. This could cause the workpiece to be
ejected or cause a dangerous breakage of the cut-off
wheel.
While the thread holder is lifted, the vise plate can be
moved in and out quickly. To grip a workpiece, push the
handle until the vise plate contacts the workpiece then
return the thread holder. Turn the handle clockwise until
the workpiece is securely retained.

When the cut-off wheel has worn down considerably,
place a spacer block behind the workpiece as shown
in the gure. You can more efciently utilize the worn
wheel by using the mid point on the periphery of the
wheel to cut the workpiece. Use a sturdy and non-am-
mable material for a spacer block.

When cutting workpieces over 85 mm (3-3/8″) wide at
an angle, attach a straight piece of wood (spacer) over
190 mm (7-1/2″) long x 40 mm (1-9/16″) wide to the
guide plate as shown in the gure. Attach this spacer
with screws through the holes in the guide plate. Make
sure that the cut-off wheel does not contact the spacer
when the tool head is depressed.
