prevents unauthorized operation.
Operation
Hold the handle firmly. Switch on the tool and wait until the wheel attains full speed before
lowering
gently
into the
cut. When the wheel contacts the workpiece, gradually bear down
on the handle to perform the cut. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT
UNTIL THE WHEEL HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the handle to the
fully elevated position.
CAUTIO N:
Proper handle pressure during cutting and maximum cutting efficiency can be determined
by the amount of sparks that is produced while cutting. Your pressure on the handle should
be adjusted to produce the maximum amount of sparks.
Do
not force the cut by applying
excessive pressure on the handle. Reduced cutting efficiency, premature wheel wear, as
well as, possible damage to the tool, cut-off wheel or workpiece may result.
