8.Slowly lower the Cut-Off Grinding Wheel into the workpiece. Continue applying light downward pressure until the workpiece is fully cut. Then, release pressure on the Power Switch (42) to turn off the tool. (See Figure C, and Assy. Diagram.)
9.Allow the Cut-Off Grinding Wheel to come to a complete stop. Then secure the Housing (22, 44) to its down position on the Base (60) by coiling the Tie-Down Chain (51) around the Handle. (See Assy. Diagram.)
10.NOTE: Before trying new or complicated techniques, study the procedure and practice with scrap material.
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1.Caution: Always disconnect the Cut-Off Saw from its electrical power supply source before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning.
2.Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Cut-Off Saw. Inspect the Power Switch, Power Plug, Cord assembly, and extension cord (if used) for dam- age. Check for a cracked or damaged Cut-Off Grinding Wheel, improper mount- ing of a Cut-Off Grinding Wheel, loose screws, broken parts, misalignment, or binding of moving parts, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn off the Cut-Off Saw immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.
3.The Cut-Off Saw features two Carbon Brushes (27) which, periodically, should be examined for wear. The Carbon Brushes are located on the Right Housing (22) and Left Housing (44). To inspect or replace the Carbon Brushes, use a small standard screwdriver to remove the Brush Covers (26). Remove the Carbon Brushes from the two Brush Holders (28), and examine the concave surface of the Carbon Brushes. The surface should be smooth and clean. If the Carbon Brushes appear only dirty, they may be cleaned by rubbing them with a pencil eraser. Make sure to remove any eraser dust which may have occurred during cleaning. If there are large scratch marks in the Carbon Brushes, or parts of the Carbon Brushes have broken off, replace both Carbon Brushes immediately with approved replacement Carbon Brushes from Harbor Freight Tools. To reinstall the Carbon Brushes, insert them into the Brush Holders. Turn the Carbon Brushes vertically so they will fit into the Brush Holders. Then, replace the Brush Covers.
(See Assy. Diagram.)
4.With a brush, soft cloth, or vacuum, remove all debris from the Cut-Off Saw.
