OPERATION

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, wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields.

Selecting a Workpiece

The MILWAUKEE Abrasive Cut-Off Machine is designed to cut steel and concrete. It is not recom- mended for cutting wood. Do not attempt to install a saw blade on the tool.

Starting and Stopping the Tool

1.Plug in the tool.

2.To start the tool, pull the trigger.

3.To stop the tool, release the trigger.

Making a Cut

1.Unplug the tool.

2.Select a cutting angle and position the fence and vise to support the workpiece (see “Supporting the Workpiece and Adjusting the Vise and Fence System”).

3.Plug in the tool.

4.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.

5.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.

6.When the cut is complete, raise the wheel com- pletely from the workpiece before releasing the trigger and allowing the motor to stop.

Trigger Hole Lock-Off

The trigger hole allows the user to insert a pad- lock. This prevents the tool from being started unintentionally.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug your tool before performing any maintenance. Never disas- semble the tool or try to do any rewiring on the tool’s electrical system. Contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.

Maintaining Tools

Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Before use, examine the gen- eral condition of your tool. Inspect guards, switches, tool cord set and extension cord for damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE” until repaired (see “Repairs”). Under normal conditions, relubrication is not neces- sary until the motor brushes need to be replaced. After six months to one year, depending on use, return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service facility for the following:

•Lubrication

•Brush inspection and replacement

•Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)

•Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)

•Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical operation

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, electric shock and damage to the tool, never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid to flow inside the tool.

Cleaning

Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thin- ner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.

Repairs

If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the nearest service center.
