ASSEMBLY

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,

always unplug tool before attaching or remov-

ing accessories or making adjustments. Use

only speciﬁ cally recommended accessories.

Others may be hazardous.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,

wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields.

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.

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 “Speciﬁ c 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 ﬂ ange and

cut-off wheel. Do not remove the inner ﬂ ange.

5. Check the inner and outer ﬂ anges 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 ﬂ ange, washer,

and hex bolt onto the spindle, as shown.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,

use only the proper wheel for this machine.

DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF SAW BLADE.

To adjust the vise:

1. Pull the lock lever back.

2. Pull the vise handle out.

3. Place the workpiece ﬂ at on the base and against

the fence.

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.

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 conﬁ rm 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 ﬂ ush 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.
