Removal and Installation of Wheels

1.Be sure tool is disconnected from power supply.

2.Push in wheel lock lever (Figure 6) and rotate wheel by hand until wheel lock lever engages slot in inside flange to lock wheel. Loosen the bolt counterclockwise in the center of the abrasive wheel with the 8 mm hex wrench found in the holder in the base. Bolt has right hand thread.

3.Remove the bolt, washer, outside flange, adapter and old wheel (Fig. 10).

4.Install the new abrasive wheel by reversing the above steps. Make sure the adapter is on the shaft and centered on the wheel.

5.Do not over tighten bolt.

DO NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT WHILE THE WHEEL IS IN MOTION. DO NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT WHILE CHOP SAW IS PLUGGED INTO POWER SUPPLY.

WARNING: CHECK THE WORK SURFACE THAT THE CHOP SAW RESTS ON WHEN REPLACING WITH A NEW ABRASIVE WHEEL. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE WHEEL MAY CONTACT ANY ITEMS OR STRUCTURE THAT EXTENDS ABOVE WORK SURFACE (UNDER THE BASE) WHEN THE ARM IS FULLY LOWERED.

Procedure For Permanent Mounting

1.Drill four holes, 5/16" diameter minimum, through the work surface (Fig. 7).

2.Remove screws from feet.

3.Insert 1/4-20 screws through underside of work surface, through feet, into holes in tool base. The proper screw length is equal to the thickness of the work surface plus 1 inch

(25 mm).

CRADLE MOUNTING

1.Cut two boards approximately 20" long x 2" high x 4" wide.

2.Place chop saw at desired work location.

3.Place boards tightly along side, and nail to work surface, (Figure 8).
