ASSEMBLY

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug tool before attaching or remov- ing accessories or making adjustments. Use only specifically recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, wearsafetygogglesorglasseswithsideshields.

Raising and Lowering the Head

The head must be locked down for transporting and storing the tool.

To unlock, press head down and pull out the lock down pin.

To lock, press head down and push in the lock down pin.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, use only the proper wheel for this machine.

DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF SAW BLADE.

Removing and Installing Cut-Off Wheels

Use only MILWAUKEE 14" Abrasive Cut-Off Wheels, 3/32” thick with this tool. Before operating the tool, make sure the wheel is in good condition as described in the “Specific Safety Rules”.

To change wheels:

1.Unplug the tool.

2.Raise the head.

3.Push up the lower guard to expose the hex bolt. Press in the spindle lock button and use the wrench provided to loosen the hex bolt (coun- terclockwise).

4.Remove the hex bolt, washer, outer flange and cut-off wheel. Do not remove the inner flange.

5.Check the inner and outer flanges to be sure they are in good condition. Remove any nicks, burrs, and debris from the mounting hardware, which could cause uneven cutting pressure and result in wheel damage.

6.Install the cut-off wheel, outer flange, washer, and hex bolt onto the spindle, as shown.

7.Press in the spindle lock button while using the wrench provided to tighten the hex bolt (clockwise).

8.Release the lower guard.

9.Before starting a cut, step back from the tool and make a trial run to confirm that the wheel is in good condition. Before using a new cut-off wheel, run the tool for at least 3 minutes. Before starting work, run the tool for at least 1 minute.

Adjusting the Depth of Cut

The depth adjustment bolt can be adjusted to change the depth of cut. When adjusted properly, the depth adjustment bolt prevents the cut-off wheel from contacting the surface under the base during cutting. Cut-off wheels wear down as they are used and the depth of cut may need to be increased.

To adjust the depth of cut:

1.Unplug the tool.

2.Use the wrench provided to loosen the hex nut.

3.Adjust the depth adjustment bolt to the desired height.

4.Tighten the hex nut.

Supporting the Workpiece and Adjusting the Vise and Fence System

The adjustable vise and fence system holds the workpiece in the desired position. The vise plate and fence can be moved backward or forward and can be adjusted to any angle between 90° and 45°. When adjusting the system,

the vise and fence should be positioned so the centerline of the wheel hub is in line with

or behind the centerline of the workpiece, toward the rear of the tool. The workpiece should be resting flush with the base of the cut-off machine.

To adjust the fence:

1.Use the wrench provided to loosen (counterclockwise) the two fence bolts.

2. Adjust the position and angle of the fence as desired.

3.Securely tighten (clock- wise) the two fence bolts.

4.Push down the lock lever.

5.Slide in the vise handle to press the vise plate againce the workpiece.

6.Turn the vise handle clockwise to tighten the vise plate against the workpiece.
