4. A long workpiece must be supported by a block that is level with the top of
the base. The cut-off end should be free to fall downward to avoid binding
against the cutting disc.
BEVEL CUTTING
The vice fence may be adjusted up
to 45° for bevel cutting.
1. To set the required angle, use the
hex wrench provided to slacken
off (but not remove) the two bolts
securing the fixed fence.
2. Swivel the fence to the required
angle as shown on the scale and
re-tighten the bolts.
3. Use a set square or angle gauge
set against the abrasive cutting disc if absolute accuracy is required.
Tighten the two securing bolts when satisfied.
• When making a mitre cut, the vice may not clamp securely,
depending on the thickness of the workpiece and the mitre angle.
• Other aids (such as spring, bar or C-clamps) will be necessary to
secure the workpiece to the fence when making these cuts.
OPERATION
WARNING: THE DISC WILL CONTINUE TO ROTATE FOR A SHORT WHILE
AFTER SWITCHING OFF. DO NOT PERFORM CUTTING IN EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERES AND ENVIRONMENTS WHERE SPARKS COULD CAUSE FIRE
OR EXPLOSION.
Before use, always:
• Check the condition of the abrasive disc to ensure there are no
cracks or badly pitted edges. If in doubt, renew the disc.
• Ensure that the abrasive cutting off disc is correctly fitted and
tightened before use. If using a new disc or if using the machine for
the first time, run the machine for approximately 30 seconds without
load to check that the disc is running without undue vibration. If
considerable vibration is noticed, stop and replace the cutting disc.
• Ensure the workpiece is properly clamped,
• Switch on by pulling the trigger switch upwards.
