POWER SUPPLY
Before operating the cut-off machine, check the power
supply and make sure it meets the requirements listed on
the tool’s data plate. A substantial voltage drop will cause a
loss of power and machine overheating.
Common causes of power loss and machine overheating are
insufficient extension cord size and multiple tools operating
from the same power source.

located in the handle portion of the machine arm.
To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger.

To engage the lock-on feature, depress the switch trigger,
push in and hold the lock-on button located on the side
of the handle, then release switch trigger. Release lock-on
button and the machine will continue running.

and release.
If you have the lock-on feature engaged during use and the
machine becomes disconnected from power supply, or in
the event of a power failure, disengage the lock-on feature
immediately.
