SELF-RETRACTING LOWER WHEEL GUARD The lower wheel guard provides protection from each side of the wheel. It retracts over the upper wheel guard as the wheel is lowered into the workpiece. MOTOR This machine has a strong motor with sufficient power to handle tough cutting jobs. It also has externally accessible brushes for ease of servicing. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON A spindle lock button has been provided for locking the spindle which keeps the wheel in the machine from rotating. Depress and hold the spindle lock button while installing, changing, or removing wheel only. 14 in. wide, depending upon the thickness or width of the material and the setting at which the cut is being made. QUICK LOCK-RELEASE LEVER A quick lock-release lever has been provided on the cut-off machine. This feature allows you to open and close the vise clamp quickly without repetitive turning of the vise crank handle. 9 FEATURES VISE CLAMP A vise clamp has been provided with the cut-off machine. It is located on the end of the vise screw and provides greater control by clamping the material to the fence. It also prevents the material from creeping toward the wheel during a cutting operation. LOCK-ON BUTTON See Figure 3. The cut-off machine is equipped with a lock-on feature which is convenient when continuous cutting for extended periods of time is required. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury. WARNING: Do not connect to power supply until assembly is complete. Failure to comply could result in accidental starting and possible serious personal injury. WARNING: A 14 in. Never use a wheel that is too thick to allow outer flange to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger wheels will come in contact with the wheel guards, while thicker wheels will prevent the bolt from securing the wheel on the spindle. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury. WARNING: If any parts are missing do not operate this tool until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury. 11 ASSEMBLY REMOVAL / INSTALLATION OF WHEEL TO REMOVE See Figure 5. n Push down on machine arm and remove transport chain from hook on motor housing to release machine arm. n Rotate lower wheel guard upward, exposing the hex head bolt that secures abrasive wheel to wheel arbor. n Depress the spindle lock button and rotate bolt until spindle locks, preventing shaft from rotating. ABRASIVE WHEEL OUTER WASHER SPACER WARNING: If inner flange or inner washer has been removed, replace both before placing wheel on spacer and wheel arbor. Failure to do so could cause an accident since wheel will not tighten properly. OUTER FLANGE HEX HEAD BOLT Fig. [. . . ] n Once it reaches full speed slowly lower the handle of the machine arm until the cut-off wheel comes in contact with the material being cut. Continue to use steady and even pressure to obtain a uniform cut through the workpiece. n When the cut is complete, release the switch trigger and allow the wheel to stop rotating before raising the wheel out of workpiece. WARNING: Do not touch the cut material until it cools or you can be burned. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. MAINTENANCE WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. [. . . ]
