FEATURES

VISE CLAMP

A vise clamp has been provided with the cut-off machine. It is located on the end of the vise screw and provides greater control by clamping the material to the fence. It also prevents the material from creeping toward the wheel during a cutting operation.

ADJUSTABLE FENCE

The fence on the cut-off machine has been provided to sup- port the material and provide clamping support to the vise for holding the material securely when making all cuts. It is an adjustable fence that has been provided to make the cut-off machine more versatile. It adjusts from 0° to 45° to the right for making angled cuts. The hole pattern allows it to be moved forward when making cuts in tall or thick stock, such as square stock or tube stock. The hole pattern allows it to be moved back when making cuts in stock that is thin or wide, such as angle stock.

CARRYING HANDLE

For convenience when carrying or transporting the cut- off machine from one place to another, a carrying handle has been provided on top of the machine arm as shown in figure 3. To transport, turn off and unplug the machine, then lower machine arm and lock it in the down position. Use the transport chain to lock machine arm in the down position.

LOCK-ON BUTTON

See Figure 3.

The cut-off machine is equipped with a lock-on feature which is convenient when continuous cutting for extended periods of time is required. To engage the lock-on feature, depress switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on button located on the side of the handle, then release switch trigger. Release lock-on button and machine will continue running.

To release lock-on feature, depress switch trigger and release.

If you have the lock-on feature engaged during use and the machine becomes disconnected from power supply, disengage the lock-on feature immediately.

TRIGGER LOCK

See Figure 4.

To prevent unauthorized use of the cut-off machine, we suggest that you disconnect it from the power supply and lock the switch in the off position. To lock the switch, install a padlock (not included) through the hole in the switch trigger. A lock with a shackle up to 1/4 in. diameter may be used. When the lock is installed and locked, the switch is inoperable. Store the padlock key in another location.
