6.4 Adjusting the stop screw (Fig. 5)
The downward movement of the cutting-off wheel
can be adjusted with the stop screw (21). This is
necessary to compensate wheel wear – as the
cutting-off wheel becomes smaller in diameter it
would no longer be able to cut right through the
workpiece.
•
Undo the lock nut (22).
•
Turn the stop screw in or out as required.
•
Lower the saw head (1) to check whether the
cutting off wheel (11) reaches the clamping
face (7) of the vise (15).
•
Retighten the lock nut.
Important!
If you fi t a new wheel some time later, it is essen-
tial to check the adjustment of the stop screw (21)
in order to prevent the wheel from cutting into the
surface on which the equipment is standing.
6.5 Changing the cutting wheel (Fig. 6/7)
•
Pull out the power plug.
•
Move the saw head (1) to its upper position
of rest.
•
Swing up the adjustable guard (3) for the
cutting-off wheel.
•
Press in the shaft lock (9) and turn the cut-
ting-off wheel (11) slowly with the other hand
until the shaft lock engages.
•
Use the supplied universal wrench (20) to
turn out the shaft screw (23) in counterclock-
wise direction.
•
Remove the shaft screw, washer, outer flange
(24) and worn cutting-off wheel.
•
Install the new cutting-off wheel in reverse
order and tighten.
Important: The fl anges have to be thorough-
ly cleaned prior to mounting the cutting-off
wheel.
•
Note the direction arrow.
•
Use only recommended, reinforced cutting-
off wheels and take care to tighten the shaft
screw just enough to hold the wheel securely
in place and prevent it from spinning. Over-
tightening the shaft screw may damage the
cutting-off wheel.
•
After the saw head has been fitted, push it
down by the handle (2) so that the cutting-off
wheel guard can jump back into its original
position.

7. Operation
7.1. On/Off switch (Fig. 8)
•
Press the On/Off (10) switch to turn on the
cutting-off machine.
•
To switch off the cutting-off machine, let go of
the switch.
7.2 Making a cut (Fig. 9)
•
Clamp the workpiece securely in the vise.
•
Switch on the machine and wait for the motor
to reach its top speed.
•
Push down the saw head (1) by the handle
(2) until the cutting-off wheel makes slight
contact with the workpiece.
•
Move the cutting-off wheel (11) smoothly
through the material you want to cut.
Important: Avoid causing the cutting-off
wheel to jump or chatter. This will only result
in cuts of poor quality or a broken wheel.
•
The handle must be pressed down firmly and
evenly during the cutting operation.
•
To prevent overheating of the workpiece and
excessive formation of burr, you should not
reduce the cutting speed even at the end of
the cutting operation.
Note: The number of cuts per cutting-off wheel
and their quality may vary considerably with the
time taken to make the cuts. Fast cuts may acce-
lerate wheel wear, but they also prevent discolo-
ring of the workpiece and the formation of burr.
