WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR TOOL
1. If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and run it with no
load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always keep the blade sharp.
2. Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
3. Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cutting or sanding finish.
4. Start your tool before working and turn it off only after you stop working.
5. Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper fitted.
6. Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away , it will damage the sanding pad. The guarantee does not cover sanding pad
wear and tear.
7. Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for finishing surfaces. If
necessary, first make a test run on scrap material.
8. Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and cause motor overload. Replacing the accessory regularly will
maintain optimum working efficiency.
