ADJUSTABLE FENCE
See Figure 6.
The adjustable fence is located at the rear of the cut-off
machine. As mentioned previously, it is used along with the
vise clamp to provide a clamp for holding the workpiece
securely when making cuts. It also makes the cut-off
machine more versatile.
The fence can be rotated to obtain cutting angles from 0°
to 45°. It also can be moved back to allow greater cutting
widths in thin stock, or forward to allow greater cutting
depths in tall or thick stock.
CUTTING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
See Figures 6 - 7.
n
Unplug the cut-off machine.
�n Using the hex wrench supplied, loosen the two hex head
bolts securing adjustable fence. See Figure 7.
�n Rotate fence until the desired angle of cut on the scale
is aligned with the indicator in machine base.
�n For precise cuts, check the angle of cut for the fence
against the abrasive wheel with a protractor, bevel square,
or other similar device.
�n Using the hex wrench supplied, securely tighten hex head
bolts. Return hex wrench to its storage area in base.
�n This will secure the fence in place at desired angle.
See Figure 6.
ADJUSTING WIDTH OF CUT
See Figures 7 - 8.
n
Unplug the cut-off machine.
�n To increase the width of cut of the cut-off machine, use
the hex wrench to loosen and remove the hex head bolts
and washers securing fence to machine base.
�n Reposition the curved slot of the fence with the threaded
hole in back of the machine base.
�n Install a hex head bolt through a lock washer and flat
washer into machine base. Do not tighten bolt securely.
�n Align remaining fence bolt hole with the middle threaded
hole in the machine base.
�n Install hex head bolt through lock washer and flat washer
into machine base.
�n Check and adjust fence to desired cutting angle.
�n Using the hex wrench supplied, securely tighten hex head
bolts. Return hex wrench to its storage area in base.
n � This position is good for cutting thin and wide pieces of
stock, such as flat or angled stock.
�n To increase the height of cut of the cut-off machine, follow
the above procedure except place the rear hex head bolt
in the middle threaded hole and the front hex head bolt
in the front threaded hole.
�n Check and adjust fence to desired cutting angle.
