port opening with the cover plate.

OPERATION

Fig.6
Hold the tool firmly with both hands on the handle and
the grip in front. Place the tool on the workpiece surface
and move the tool gently forward and backward while
applying slight downward pressure.
CAUTION:
The tool should not be in contact with the
•
workpiece surface when you turn the tool on or off.
Damage to the tool or the workpiece surface and
injury to the operator may result.
Apply slight downward pressure only. Excessive

pressure may decrease tool efficiency, shorten
wheel service life and possibly gouge the
workpiece surface.

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.

the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
