5. Hold the arbor shaft lock in place and use a 5/16" (8mm) hex wrench or hex bit, turn the hex socket-head cap screw clockwise to tighten.

6. Tighten the hex socket-head cap screw securely into the motor arbor. See Figure 4.

7. Replace the movable blade guard exposing the covering hex socket-head cap screw for the abrasive wheel.

8. Replace nut on the movable blade guard.

THE CUTTING WHEEL

Do not over tighten the hex socket-head screw. Over tightening the screw can cause the abrasive wheel to crack resulting in premature failure. This could cause the abrasive wheel to break and fly off the arbor shaft when the trig- ger is engaged. Failure to adhere to this Warning could cause damage to the

1. Using a 5/16" (8mm) hex wrench or hex bit, turn the two hex socket-head cap screws counterclockwise to loosen.

2. Rotate the work vise fence to the desired the angle by aligning the gauge on the vise base with the indi- cator groove in the Cut-off saw base.

Cut-off saw and severe injury or even death to the operator.

Use only a 14" diameter abrasive Cut-off wheel rated to a minimum 4000 RPM. Cut-off wheels that do not match the mounting hardware, exceed a maximum 4400 RPM or fall below the minimum 4000 RPM may sustain premature wear or breakage and fly off the Cut-off saw or run eccentrically resulting in a loss of control. Failure to adhere to this Warning could cause damage to the Cut-off saw and severe injury or even death to the operator.

ADJUSTING THE WORK VISE

The work vise is located on the base of the Cut-off saw. The vise is made up of two parts: (1) a stationary fence which can be loosened and rotated from 0˚ to 45˚ degrees and (2) a movable clamp with an adjustable screw handle and a quick- release lock.

The work vise will also move toward the rear of the base to allow larger workpieces to be cut. To set up and adjust the work vise, follow the directions below. See Figure 6.
