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

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.

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.
