firmly hold the tool by both side grip and switch
handle during operations.
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and then apply the
abrasive disc to the workpiece.

15 degrees to the workpiece surface. Apply slight pres-
sure only. Excessive pressure will result in poor perfor-
mance and premature wear to abrasive disc.
