Cutting Capacity
The wide vise opening and high pivot point provide cutting
capacity for many large pieces. Use the cutting capacity
chart to determine total maximum size of cuts that can be
made with a new wheel.

CAUTION: CERTAIN LARGE, CIRCULAR OR
IRREGULARLY SHAPED OBJECTS MAY REQUIRE
ADDITIONAL HOLDING MEANS IF THEY CANNOT BE
HELD SECURELY IN VISE.

CAUTION: DO NOT CUT MAGNESIUM WITH
THIS TOOL.
Maximum Cutting Capacity
NoTE: Capacity shown on chart assumes no wheel wear
and optimum fence position.

Carrying the Chop Saw (Fig. A)
Fold down unit to position where you can carry the saw.
Push in lock pin 1 to lock arm down.
Unlocking (Fig. A)
To unlock tool and raise head, depress motor arm slightly
and pull lock pin 1 out. Motor arm will then pivot upward.
Mounting (Fig. A)

CAUTION: Tool must be supported on stable, level,
non-skid surface to prevent unexpected movement
when operating.
1. Drill holes through the work surface that align the base
of the chop saw.
2. Insert two M10 bolts down through the mounting
holes 17 in the base and through holes in mounting
surface. The approximate length of the screws should be
the thickness of the mounting surface plus 4" (102 mm).
Spark Deflector Adjustment (Fig. A)
To best deflect sparks away from surrounding persons and
materials, loosen the spark deflector screw
spark deflector 3 and then retighten screw. Do not allow
cordset to come into contact with deflector or sparks as
damage to cordset may occur.
Trigger Switch (Fig. A)
To start the tool, depress the trigger switch
the tool off, release the trigger switch. Keep hands and
material from wheel until it has coasted to a stop.To prevent
unauthorized use of tool, install a standard padlock (not
included) into the padlock hole
Material Clamping and Supporting
(Fig. B, C)
• Angles are best clamped and cut with both legs resting
against base.
• A spacer block slightly narrower than the work piece
can be used to increase wheel utilization (Fig. B).
• Long work pieces must be supported by a block so it
will be level with top of base (Fig. C). The cut off end
should be free to fall downward to avoid wheel binding.
