GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SAW

  1. Warning Label.

  2. Chain - For easy carrying and storage, the cut-off saw

  can be clamped in the down position by means of the hold

  down chain. To move the cutting head to the up position,

  simply unhook the chain from the handle housing.

  3. Quick Vise - Clamping the work piece can be accomplished

  quickly and easily.

  4. Outer Guard - Protects users from contact on upper 

  portion of blade. Rotate this guard to change the blade.

  5. D Handle - The D handle contains the trigger switch

  (see #8). The blade can be lowered into the work piece 

  by pushing down on the handle. The saw will return to its 

  upright position when the handle is released unless the 

  chain (#2) is hooked.

 

  6. Carrying Handle - This handle is built into the unit

  to move it from one location to another. Before attempting

  to pick up the unit by the carrying handle always clamp the

  cut off saw power head in the down position using chain

 (#2).

  7. Plastic Chip Guard - To protect eyes and face from the 

  chips created while cutting.

 

  8. Switch - To turn the saw “ON” depress trigger switch.

  To turn the saw “OFF”, release trigger switch.

 

  9. Arbor Lock - Allows the user to keep blade from

  rotating while tightening or loosening arbor screw during

  blade installation or removal.

 

  10. Up Stop Screws - When the motor head is in the full up 

  position, these screws prevent over-rotation of the 

  motor head. 

 

  11. Down Stop - In the down (full cut) position, the pivot

  arm hits an adjustable stop.

 

  12. Upper Guard - Protects users from cutter contact 

  on upper portion of blade.

 

  13. Arbor Wrench - Used for blade changing and vise

  angular adjustments.

  14. Lower Guard - Covers the lower part of the blade in 

  raised position. Retracts into the upper guard when the 

  head is lowered.
