EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop
in voltageand loss of power.
•Wires of the extensioncord must be of sufficientsize
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use thetable to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
•If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any
way, replace it immediately.
EXTENSION CORD LENGTH
WireSize A.W.G.
Up to 25 ft................................ 18
NOTE: Using extension cords over25 ft. long is not
recommended.
Refer to Figures 2and3.
The 6" Cutoff saw is used for cutting hard and soft
metals. The cutoff saw features a lightweight frame of
plastic and aluminum construction and a stamped steel
base to ensure durability.
Visejaws canturn 0-45 ° for making angle cuts. Movable
jaw has rapid approach and withdraw capability.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Always observe the followingsafety pre-
cautions.
• Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on the
cutoffsaw, remove plug from powersource.
•Use a clean abrasive wheel. Replace chipped or
cloggedwheels.
•Use abrasive wheels ratedfor saw speed
•Secure the workpieca in a stableposition.
•Check that allguards are attached.
• Check t_at there isno debris on wheel or insideblade
guard.
• Keep hands awayfrom the abrasive wheel and all
moving parts.
• Always wear eye protection orface shield.
CLAMPING WORKPIECE
Refer to Figure 3.
The vise is designed to keep the workpiece steady
while it is being cut. The proper position will help pro-
duce a safe and accurate cut.
• The entire length of long work should be supported.
Do notbalance work on base. Use supports to
prevent the work from falling off after the cut.
• Vise jaw with protractor (Key No. 36) can be adjust-
ed from 0° to 45°. To change the angle of cut loosen
two socket head bolts (Key No. 45), adjust vise jaw
to desired angle and tighten socket head bolts.
• Raise lead nut (Key No. 39) off lead screw (KeyNo.
41). Pull lead screw out to open vise.
• Setworkpiece between vise jaws. Push lead screw in
to clamp vise jaws onto workpiece. Lowerlead nut to
engage lead screw. Tighten lead screw. Make sure
workpiece is securely clamped.
• Check workpiece position by lowering abrasive wheel.
CUTTING
• Tocut, grip handle of housing, squeeze andmain-
tain trigger. Let saw come to full speed, then press
down on handle to lower the abrasive wheel onto
workpiece.
• Do not force the tool during operation. Apply steady
but not heavy hand pressure. Heavy hand pressure
will reduce the lifeof the abrasive wheel.
• If the saw chatters or slows, reducepressure. If
abrasivewheel stalls, release trigger to avoid burn-
ingout the motor.
• Note: When cutting large solid pieces (e.g. 2" dia.
round),do notoverload motor-- use light to
moderatehand pressure.
•If feed pressureis too low,the abrasive wheel will
not dig into material properly.
• Do not use tocut wood or plastic materials with
abrasive wheel. Do not use to cut flammable
materials.
• Do not use cuttingfluids. This tool uses the high
RPM of its abrasive wheel to cut through metal
workpieces.
• Do not block or cover vent slots in housing; free air
flow is needed to keep the motor cool.
