feed the wheel into the workpiece with firm even pressure,
allowing the tool to do the work. Do not force the cut off
tool through the workpiece. Forcing a cut off tool can cause

General Tips for Cutting Materials
For best control, user cutting direction should be
opposite wheel rotation. Example: When making a cut
away from user by pushing the tool forward, set wheel
rotation to reverse/clockwise direction.
Be sure that the wheel is at full speed before continuing
a cut.
Allow the wheel to come to a complete stop before
raising the wheel out of the material.
Cutting Tile
To reduce overheating of cutting wheel or workpiece,
user may lightly wet surface.
If excessive chipping of the tile is observed, user may
operate tool at slower speed using variable speed
trigger to achieve a cleaner cut.
Cutting tile will generate debris. Guard position may be
adjusted to deflect debris away from user.
Cutting Plastic
Take frequent breaks to allow wheel to cool down.
If melted material or debris becomes adhered to blade,
shoe or guard: Release trigger. Allow unit to rest and
material to cool. Remove battery. Remove debris. Ensure
all areas around wheel including inside of guard is clear
of debris. Resume cutting operation.

Cutting metal will generate sparks. Guard position may
be adjusted to deflect sparks and debris away from user.
