Move the tool over the workpiece surface, keeping it
flat and advancing smoothly until the cutting is com-
pleted. Keep your cutting line straight and your speed of
advance uniform.
NOTE: When the battery cartridge temperature is
low, the tool may not work to its full capacity. At this
time, for example, use the tool for a light-duty cut for
a while until the battery cartridge warms up as high
as room temperature. Then, the tool can work to its
full capacity.
NOTE: If the cutting action of the diamond wheel
begins to diminish, dress the cutting edge of the
wheel using an old discarded coarse grit bench
grinder wheel or concrete block. Dress by pressing
lightly on the outer edge of the diamond wheel.
