OperATiOn  
Warning! Unplug the power cord while setting up the saw and workpiece. Do not plug  
in until ready to cut.  
Warning! This Cut-Off Saw is designed to cut iron metal. Do not cut wood, brick,  
aluminum, or magnesium; tool damage and/or personal injury could occur.  
Note: Use an aluminum oxide wheel for cutting ferrous material, i.e. angle iron, con-  
duit pipe, etc. Use masonry wheels to cut masonry, stone, brick, aggregate, etc.  
An aluminum oxide wheel is #525 Cut-off Wheel (not included), 1/8” Thick, 30 Grit.  
A masonry wheel is #44815 Cut-off Wheel (not included), 1/8” Thick.  
Before using the saw always:  
a. Make sure the blade (not included) is securely attached. Loosen Screw (110)  
and lift Small Cover (109) out of the way. Using the Wrench (91), remove the  
Hex Screw (23) - reverse thread, Stop Washer (22), Flat Washer #21), and the  
Flange (20). Set the blade on the arbor and replace the hardware. Do not over-  
tighten. Move Small Cover (109) back in place and tighten Screw (110).  
b. Check that the Upper Shield (12) and Lower Shield (30) are in place.  
c. The Cut Off Saw must be located on a level, flat, workbench that is solid and  
able to support the weight of the tool and workpieces. The workpiece must be  
secured in a vise or with clamps (vise assembly included).  
d. Wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles.  
1. Disconnect the Chain (72), allowing the blade assembly to lift. The chain is only  
used for transporting the tool. Make sure the saw has cooled for 3-5 minutes  
before latching or unlatching the Chain (72), to avoid burning yourself on the hot  
blade.  
2. Loosen the Vise (82) on the vise assembly and position workpiece. Tighten the  
Vise (82).  
3. Make sure the blade is clear to rotate freely.  
4. Press the power Switch (33). Allow blade to reach full speed.  
5. Lower the Handle (35) slowly and contact the workpiece with very little pressure.  
Let the blade do the work. If the blade begins to slow, back off as you are exerting  
too much pressure.  
Caution: The Lower Shield (30) and Small Cover (109) must always be in place. Both  
of these blade guards must be in place when the tool is being used.

6. Turn off the power and unplug the tool before removing workpiece. Never leave  
the tool running unattended.  
miter Cuts  
For Miter Cuts, you must use the Vise (82). The Vise Stop has a Fixed Splint  
(100) for this purpose. Loosen the Vise Stop by slightly loosening each bolt and align  
the scale to your desired angle. Tighten the bolts. Carefully set the workpiece into the  
Vise (82) without disturbing the setting.  
mAinTenAnCe  
Warning! Remove the electrical plug from the outlet before maintaining the Saw.  
1. Wearing gloves, carefully clean any excess metal filings that accumulate on the  
saw, vise assembly, or motor housing.  
2. To keep looking like new, use an automotive wax to polish the metal Base (87).  
3. Check blade for wear, replace at the first sign of any tears or cracks.  
4. Periodically check power cord for wear or tears. If necessary, have a qualified  
technician replace it.  
5. Never use chemicals or solvents to clean the Saw.  
lubrication  
1. The motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not attempt to  
work on the motor; the tool should be serviced by a qualified technician.  
2. Any mechanical part including a pivot or threaded rod may be lightly sprayed with  
a silicone or graphite lubricant, which will not hold or collect the metal filings left  
from a job.  
3. Periodically inspect the Carbon Brush (67) and replace it when it is worn out. Re-  
move the Brush Cap (68) and take out the Carbon Brush (67). Replace and tighten  
the Brush Cap (68).
