●  Material will get hot during cutting 

operations. Keep hands of  of metal 

being cut to avoid serious personal 

injury.

●  Do not touch the cut material until it 

cools or you can be burned.  

●  Keep your hands at least 3 in. from 

the cutting wheel.

●  Inspect the abrasive cutting wheel 

before every operation. Check for 

cracks, chipping and correct speed 

ratings on the cutting wheel.

1.  Place the workpiece flat on the 

machine base.

2.  Firmly secure the material to be 

cut using the machine’s vise clamp 

assembly.  

3.  When cutting long workpieces, 

support the opposite end of the 

material with a roller stand or 

with a work surface level with the 

machine.

4.  Before turning the machine on, 

perform a dry run of the cutting 

operation to verify no problems will 

occur when the cut is made.

5.  Turn on the machine by depressing 

the trigger switch (1). Allow a few 

seconds for the wheel to build up to 

full speed before letting it come into 

contact with the workpiece. (Fig. K)

6.  Once the motor has reached full 

speed, slowly lower the handle 

of the cutting arm until the cutting 

wheel contacts the workpiece. 

Continue to use steady, even 

pressure to obtain a uniform cut 

through the workpiece. Do not force 

the wheel into the workpiece.

7.  When the cut is complete, release 

the trigger switch and allow the 

wheel to stop rotating BEFORE 

raising the cutting arm out of the 

workpiece.

Do not attempt to cut wood or 

masonry with this chop saw. Never 

cut magnesium or magnesium alloy 

with this machine. Failure to comply 

could result in serious personal 

injury.
