• Do not use any type of cutting lubricant with this

cut-off tool. Lubricant may enter motor resulting in an

increased risk of electrical shock.

• Do not cut or attempt to cut masonry, stone or

ceramic. The fine dust created when cutting will dam-

age the motor.

Description, Specifications and

Standard Equipment

Description

The RIDGID CM1450 Abrasive Cut-Off Machine is

designed to cut ferrous and non-ferrous material such as

the following:

• Gas pipe, electrical pipe and conduit.

• Steel and aluminum angle, channel and bar

A quick lock release vice clamps the workpiece and

allows an angle cut from 45° to 90°. The motor oper-

ates with 115 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, AC current.

Specifications

NOTE! Maximum width capacity is approximately 8

″

at 90° and 5″ at 45°.

Use of tool for cutting larger than recom-

mended shapes may lead to motor burn-out and possible

electrical shock.

• Keep the lower wheel guard attached and working

properly. Keep your body position to either side of

the wheel, but not in line with the wheel. Is important

to position your body and the guard to minimize body

exposure from the possible fragments of a burst wheel.

• Do not grind against the side of these abrasive cut-

off wheels. Do not allow the wheel to twist or bind.

Side forces applied to these wheels may cause them

to shatter.

• Before each use inspect the cut-off wheel for

chips and cracks. Do not use a wheel that may be

damaged. When installing a new wheel carefully

handle individual cut-off wheels to avoid chip-

ping or cracking. Run the tool at no load for one

minute, holding the tool’s cutting head down and

in the direction away from people. Wheels with

flaws will normally break apart during this time.

Fragments from a wheel that bursts during operation

may strike you or bystanders.

• Do not “jam” the abrasive wheel into the work or

apply excessive pressure while using this ma-

chine. Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel,

especially when working corners and sharp edges.

If the wheel is damaged due to misuse it may develop

cracks and eventually burst or shatter without warning.

• Always use the vice to clamp the work and prop-

erly support the over-hanging portion of the work-

piece level with the base of the machine. Proper

support of workpiece is important to keep the cut-off

and overhanging pieces from falling.

• Do not use this tool with “wood carving” blade or

standard wood cutting toothed blades. These

blades are not intended for this machine and can cre-

ate loss of control during use.

• This tool and abrasive wheel are not intended to

cut wood or wood products. Abrasive wheels cut by

grinding or fretting while in workpiece with the embed-

ded grit in the wheel. These grits may grab wood and

cause loss of control or could cause the wood to burn

due to friction heating.

• Do not set or mount the tool on a flammable sur-

face or use the abrasive cut-off machine near

flammable materials. During operation the wheel

ejects sparks and hot chips from grinding on the work-

piece. These sparks could ignite flammable materials.

• Never cut or attempt to cut magnesium with this

tool. The dust generated when cutting magnesium is

highly flammable and may be explosive under certain

conditions.
