3. Make sure flange surfaces are clean and flat. Install the
new abrasive wheel by reversing the above steps.
4. Do not overtighten bolt.
WARNING: 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.
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.
