Changing The Cutting Angle; Quick Lock-Release Vise; Workpiece Clamping; Using A Metallic Block - RIDGID CM1450 El Manual Del Propietario

Changing the Cutting Angle

The vise can be adjusted from 0° to 45°
left and right.
1. Loosen the miter lock handle by push-
ing down and rotating counterclock-
wise.
2. Reposition the vise at the desired
angle.
3. Tighten the miter lock handle.

Quick Lock-Release Vise

This tool is equipped with a lock-release
vise for easy and fast clamping of the
material. Raise lever for fast movement of
vise. Lower lever and turn crank for work-
piece clamping.

Workpiece Clamping

Position work in vise so that if jam occurs,
the wheel will not tend to move the work-
piece in the vise. Clamp it securely.
Angles should be in an inverted position
as shown.
Generally the cut-off machine will cut
most efficiently if the wheel is cutting the
thinnest section at any time.

Using A Metallic Block

When the cut-off wheel is worn and the
outer diameter is reduced, insert a metal-
lic block slightly smaller than the dimen-
sion of workpiece under the workpiece.
Do not cut the metallic block.
