Supporting the Workpiece and Adjusting the Cut-Off Angle
(Fig. 3 & 4)
Always use the vise and fence to hold the workpiece in place on the cut-
off machine table. The vise plate moves forward and backward and
adjusts to any angle. The fence also moves backward and forward and
adjusts to any angle between 0° and 45° to the left or right.
When making cuts, the center line of the hub should contact approxi-
mately the midpoint of the workpiece and it should be approximately
midway between the fence and vise as shown (Fig. 3).
1. To adjust the fence, use the open end wrench provided to loosen
(counterclockwise) the two bolts that hold the fence firmly in place
(Fig. 4).
Adjust the position and angle of the fence as desired.
Use the open end wrench provided to securely tighten (clockwise)
the two bolts that hold the fence in place.
2. To adjust the vise, pull the quick release lever back to disengage it
from the threads (Fig. 4).
Adjust the vise plate/vise handle depending on the workpiece size.
Push the quick release lever forward to engage the threads and lock
the vise. To completely lock the assembly, turn the vise handle clock-
wise.
Selecting a Workpiece
The
MILWAUKEE
Abrasive Cut-Off Machine is designed to cut steel and
concrete. It is not recommended for cutting wood. Do not attempt to
install a saw blade on the tool.
Starting and Stopping the Tool
The tool operates at no load speed of 3900 RPM.
1. Plug in the tool.
2. To start the tool, pull trigger.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger.
Locking Trigger Switch
The lock-on button, located next to the trigger switch, holds the trigger in
the “ON” position for continuous full speed use.
1. To lock the trigger switch, push the lock-on button down while
pulling the trigger. Release the trigger.
2. To unlock the trigger switch, pull the trigger and release.
Making a Cut
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Select a cutting angle and position the fence and vise assembly as
needed. Follow the steps in “Supporting the Workpiece and Adjust-
ing the Cut-Off Angle”.
3. Place the workpiece flat on top of the cut-off machine table. Turn
the vise handle clockwise until the vise assembly holds the
workpiece firmly in place.
4. Plug the tool in and pull the trigger. Allow the motor to reach full
speed. Slowly lower the wheel into the workpiece.
NOTE: Always start the cut gently; do not bang or bump a wheel
when starting the cut. For the safest and most efficient cutting,
make sure that the cut-off wheel contacts the center of the
workpiece.
5. When the cut is complete, raise the wheel completely from the
workpiece before releasing the trigger and allowing the motor to
stop.
Trigger Hole Lock-Off Feature (Fig. 5)
The trigger hole allows the user to insert a padlock. This prevents the
tool from being started unintentionally.
