Operation
Hold the handle firmly. Switch on the tool and wait until the wheel attains full speed before
lowering gently into the cut. When the wheel contacts the workpiece, gradually bear down
on the handle to perform the cut. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT
UNTIL THE WHEEL HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the handle to
the fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
Proper handle pressure during cutting and maximum cutting efficiency can be determined
by the amount of sparks that is produced while cutting. Your pressure on the handle
should be adjusted to produce the maximum amount of sparks. Do not force the cut by
applying excessive pressure on the handle. Reduced cutting efficiency, premature wheel
wear, as well as, possible damage to the tool, cut-off wheel or workpiece may result.
