ASSEMBLY

nUsing the hex wrench supplied, securely tighten hex head bolts. Return hex wrench to its storage area in base.

�n This position is good for cutting tall and thick pieces of stock, such as square or tube stock.

QUICK LOCK-RELEASE LEVER

See Figures 9 - 10.

The quick lock-release lever engages the vise clamp to be used along with the fence to provide a vise for securing the workpiece to be cut. It also allows you to open and close the vise quickly without repetitive turning of the vise crank handle.

USING THE QUICK LOCK-RELEASE LEVER AND VISE CLAMP

To loosen:

See Figure 9.

nUnplug the cut-off machine.

�n Release tension on the vise clamp by rotating the vise crank handle 1/2 to 1 turn counterclockwise.

�n Lift up the quick lock-release lever as shown in fig- ure 9 and pull back on vise crank handle to slide open the vise.

To tighten:

See Figure 10.

nUnplug the cut-off machine.

�n Push the vise crank handle forward to slide the vise clamp against the workpiece.

�n Rotate the quick lock-release lever forward and push down as shown in figure 10 to engage its threads with the vise screw.

�n Rotate the vise crank handle clockwise to tighten the vise clamp against the workpiece.

DEPTH STOP

See Figure 11.

The depth stop limits the wheel's downward travel. It allows the wheel to go below the machine base enough to maintain full cutting capacities.

The adjustable depth stop is a bolt threaded into the base at the rear of the machine. To adjust the depth stop, use the hex wrench supplied to raise or lower the depth stop bolt.

The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting capacity for the 14 in. abrasive wheel provided with the cut-off machine.

When the diameter of the wheel has been reduced due to wear, it may be necessary to adjust the depth stop to provide maximum cutting capacity. When a new abrasive wheel is installed, it is necessary to check the clearance of the wheel to the machine base support.
