Switch
When starting the tool,
hold it with both hands.
The tool should be in the UP position with
the cut-off wheel above the material to be
cut. The torque from the motor can cause the
tool to twist.
To turn tool ON, squeeze the trigger switch. To
turn the tool OFF, release the trigger switch,
which is spring loaded and will return to the off
position automatically.
Your tool should be running at full speed BE-
FORE starting the cut, and turned off only
AFTER completing the cut. To increase switch
life, do not turn switch on and off while cutting.
Cutting Line Guides
There are four line guides to align the tool with
the intended line of cut (Fig. 5). Line guide 1
can pivot and stored on the upper guard and
held in place by internal magnet. To use it,
simply flip it forward in front of the tool so that
the guide roller contacts the work surface.
Line guide 1 is made out of soft steel and can
be easily bent. Before making a cut check to
make sure that the line guide 1 is properly
aligned with the other three line guides. If
needed, gently bend the line guide 1 left or
right until the alignment is reached.
To prevent damage, fold the line guide 1 to
storage position on the upper guard when the
tool is not in use.
General Cuts

source before making adjustments. Set depth
