• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habfl of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

• DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area.

• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

• DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using and extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating, ff in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Than

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets, or

other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended.

Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents often cover moving parts

and should also be avoided. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES which meet the ANSI Z87.1 requirements. Also

use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool

Additional Safety Rules for Chop Saw

• Always wear proper eye and respiratory protection.

• Before using, inspect the cutting wheel for cracks or flaws. If such a crack or flaw

is evident, discard the wheel The wheel should also be inspected whenever you think the tool may have been dropped. Flaws may cause wheel breakage.

• When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel or if you are unsure of the condition of the wheel, hold the tool in a well protected area and let it run for

one minute. If the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in less than

one minute. Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the operator.

• In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the wheel for cracks or flaws.

• NEVER have anypart of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Personal injury will occur.

• Clean your chop saw periodically following the procedure in this manual.

• Do not remove wheel guards or base.

• ALWAYS USE THE VISE OR SPECIAL FIXTURE TO CLAMP WORK SECURELY. Other aids such as spring, bar, or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain sizes and

shapes of workpiece. Use care in selecting and placing these clamps and make a dry run before making a cut.

• Use only 14" type 1 wheels ratedat4100 rpm orhigher.

• Allow cut off parts to cool before handling.

• Do not attempt to cut wood or plastic with this tool.

• NEVER CUT MAGNESIUM WITH THIS TOOL.

• Use chop saw in a well-ventilated area.

• Turn chop saw off before removing any pieces from the base.

• DO NOT CUT ELECTRICALLY LIVE MATERIAL.

• Do not use circular saw blades or any other toothed blades with this tool. Serious injury may result.

• DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL NEAR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUST. Sparks or hot chips from cutting or arcing motor brushes may ignite combustible

materials.

• Do not use the side of the abrasive wheel as a deburring grinder. This will substantially

weaken the wheel creating an unsafe condition. The wheel may come apart.

i_ WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work

with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed

to filter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

,&WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved

respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body. i_ WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS wear certified safety equipment:

To Carry (Fig. 1)

Fold down unit to position where you can carry the saw. Push in lock pin (A) to lock arm down.

Unlocking (Fig. 1)

To unlock tool and raise head, depress motor arm slightly and pull lock pin (A) out. Motor arm will then pivot upward.

Material Clamping and Supporting

• Angles are best clamped and cut with both legs resting against base.

• A spacer block slightly narrower than the workpiece can be used to increase wheel utilization (Fig. 3).

• Long workpieces must be supported by a block so it will be level with top of base (Fig. 4). The cut-off end should be free to fall downward to avoid wheel binding.

Spark Deflector Adjustment (Fig. 1)

To best deflect sparks away from surrounding persons and materials, loosen the screw (B), adjust the spark deflector (C) and then retighten screw.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not allow cordset to come into contact with deflector or sparks as damage to cordset may occur.

Vise Operation (Fig. 5)

The vise has a quick travel feature. To release the vise (F) when it is clamped tightly, turn the crank (H) counterclockwise one or two times to remove clamping pressure. Lift the vise lever (I) up. Pull crank assembly out as far as desired. The vise may be shoved into work without cranking. Lower vise lever then tighten vise on work by using crank.

Fence Operation (Fig. 5)

AWARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn un# off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF

position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

The fence (E) requires no tools to adjust. The quick-release clamp lever (T) unlocks and locks the fence. When the lever is rotated fully forward, the fence is unlocked. The fence can then be freely moved forward, backward or rotated to allow for the best cutting position

for a new wheel and as the wheel wears. Rotating the lever fully to the rear locks the fence in position selected. If the bottom leg

of the lever is not horizontal (parallel to the base), the fence is not locked. Lever will only lock fence when there is strong resistance to moving it to rear. If resistance is light, adjust clamping force by tightening slightly the two bolts (R) holding the fence to the base. Test by reclamping and attempt to move fence.

Fence Angle Adjustment (Fig. 6)

i_WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn un# off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF

position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

The angle adjustment indicator is part of fence clamping system. Align the desired angle indicator line with the edge of the slot in base.

FOR A MORE ACCURATE SQUARE CUT

1. Unlock the fence.

2. Push the arm down until the wheel extends into the base.

3. Place a square against the wheel and adjust the fence against the square.

4. Lock the fence into position.

Usage (Fig. 1, 2)

Refer to Figure 2 for proper body positioning during use. To start the tool, depress the trigger switch (M). To turn 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 (N) located in the trigger.

Removal and Installation of Wheels (Fig. 7)

_&WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn un# off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF

position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

The Quick-Change blade clamp requires no tools to change the blade.

1. Push in wheel lock lever (L) and rotate wheel (J) by hand until wheel lock lever engages slot in inside flange (S) to lock wheel. Loosen the Quick-Change blade clamp (Q) counterclockwise. Clamp has right-hand thread.

on when replacing with a new abrasive wheel It is possible that the wheel may contact ANY ITEMS OR STRUCTURE THAT EXTENDS ABOVE work surface (under the base)

when the arm is fully lowered.

,3"

(8MM)

Mounting (Fig. 8, 9)

i_CAUTION: Tool must be supported on stable, level, non-skid surface to prevent unexpected movement when operating.

PROCEDURE FOR PERMANENT MOUNTING

1. Drill four holes 5/16" (8 mm) through the work surface (Fig. 8).

2. Insert 1/4-20 screws down through the holes 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).

CRADLE MOUNTING

1. Cut two boards approximately 20" long x 2" high x 4" wide (508 x 50.8 x 101.6 mm).

2. Place chop saw at desired work location.

3. Place boards tightly along side, and nail to work surface (Fig. 9).

Operation Tips for More Accurate Cuts

• Allow the wheel to do the cutting. Excessive force will cause the wheel to glaze

reducing cutting efficiency and/or to deflect causing inaccurate cuts.

• Properly adjust fence angle.

• Make sure material is laying flat across base.

• Properly clamp material to avoid movement and vibration.

MAINTENANCE

i_WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making repairs. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF

position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

MOTOR BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT (FIG. 10) Brushes should be regularly inspected for wear. To inspect brushes, unscrew the two end cap screws (W) and remove end cap (V). Remove brush cap (X). Brushes (Y) should slide freely in brush box. If brushes are worn down to .3" (8 mm) as shown in Figure 10 they should be replaced. To reinstall, push new brush back into brush box. If replacing existing brush, maintain same orientation as when removed. Replace the brush cap (do not overtighten). Replace end cap and two screws. Tighten securely.

Cleaning

i_WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the air vents. Wear ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3) approved eye protection when performing this procedure.

i_WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tooL These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts.
