bottom exposed (fig U). After locating centrally, lift the
spark guard FULLY, ensuring the two parts rotate correctly
and do not detach. With the guard in the FULLY upright
position, there is only one threaded hole exposed. Replace
the spark shield locking screw fully in this hole (fig V).
Operate the spark guard up and down to ensure it is
correctly located prior to turning the cut off saw on.
NOTE.
Ensure that the depth
stop is adjusted to the correct
height before commencing
operation. The adjustable
depth stop is threaded into the
base of the machine at the
rear. By raising and lowering
the depth stop bolt with the
5mm hex key (fig W) the
travel of the cut off wheel can be controlled. This feature is
particularly useful to prevent contact with the work bench
surface when a new disc is fitted or increase disc travel as
the abrasive disc wears. The depth stop should be checked
and adjusted everytime a new disc is fitted.
Operation
1. Make all adjustments including
setting the vice, fence position
and fence angle.
2. Ensure that the workpiece is
fully secured before starting
any cutting.
NOTE.
Ensure you are wearing
the appropriate safety gear
including eye protection and hearing protection.
3. Check that the disc, guard and tool are in good condition.
4. Plug the cordset into the mains socket.
5. Push the lock-off button and pull the trigger to start
the tool.
6. Bring the disc down onto the workpiece and allow it to
cut its way through the workpiece without undue force.

7. Once the cut is finished, raise the arm to clear the disc
from the workpiece, release the trigger and the cut off
saw will stop. Please note that the disc will continue to
turn for a few revolutions even though the saw is switched
off. Keep your hands well away from the moving disc.
