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 (U) 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 (V) holding the fence to the base. Test by
reclamping and attempt to move fence.
Fence Angle Adjustment (Fig. 6)
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.
The angle adjustment indicator (W) is part of fence
clamping system. Align the desired angle indicator
line with the edge of the slot (X) 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 (Y) 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. 1, 7)
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.
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 (Z) to lock wheel.
Loosen the Quick-Change blade clamp (Q)
counterclockwise. Clamp has right-hand thread.
2. Remove the Quick-Change blade clamp (Q),
blade clamp washer (AA) and old wheel (J) by
hand.
3. Make sure flange surfaces are clean and flat.
Install the new abrasive wheel by reversing the
above steps.
4. Tighten the Quick-Change blade clamp
clockwise until the knob clicks as least three
times to ensure the knob is tight. The Quick-
Change blade clamp cannot be overtightened.
NOTE: Do not overtighten bolt. An extra blade bolt
(O) and blade bolt washer (P) is stored on the back
of the motor arm. The bolt and washer must be
used together to safely clamp blade.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury.
Check the work surface that the chop
saw rests 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.
Mounting (Fig. 8, 9)
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 8 mm (5/16") 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 102 mm (4").
