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 W 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.
