OPERATION

CUT-OFF

See Figures 14 and 15.

A cut-off is made by cutting across the width of the workpiece. A straight crosscut is made with the adjustable flip fence set at the zero degree position. Angled cut-offs are made with the adjustable flip fence set at some angle other than zero.

To cut with your cut-off machine:

■Firmly secure the material to be cut using the machine’s vise (adjustable flip fence, extension block, and vise clamp).

■Using the fence lock handle, loosen the fence assembly. See Figures 14 and 15.

■Rotate the adjustable fence to the angle needed.

■Retighten fence lock handle.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten fence lock handle securely before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of the workpiece while making a cut.

■Place the workpiece flat on the machine base with one surface securely against the adjustable flip fence.

■Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of the abrasive wheel.

■Push in the vise crank handle to set the vise clamp against the workpiece. Turn the vise crank handle 1/2 to 1 turn clockwise to securely clamp the workpiece to the fence.

WARNING:

To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands at least 3 in. (76.2 mm) from wheel.

■When cutting long pieces, support the opposite end of the material with a roller stand or with a work surface level with the machine base.

WARNING:

Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without placing workpiece in the vise). Material will get hot during cutting operation. Keep hands off of metal being cut to avoid serious personal injury.

■Before turning on machine, perform a dry run of the cutting operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.

■Start the machine by grasping the handle and fully squeezing the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the wheel to build up to full speed before letting it come into contact with the material to be cut.

■Once it reaches full speed slowly lower the handle of the machine arm until the cut-off wheel comes in contact with the material being cut. Continue to use steady and even pressure to obtain a uniform cut through the workpiece. Never force the wheel into the material being cut.

■When the cut is complete, release the switch trigger and allow the wheel to stop rotating before raising the wheel out of workpiece.

WARNING:

Do not touch the cut material until it cools or you can be burned. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
