OPERATION

Always use the side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly
hold the tool by both side grip and switch handle during
operations. Turn the tool on and apply slight pressure
on the tool so that the tool will not bounce around,
uncontrolled. Pressing very hard on the tool will not
increase the efficiency.
