OPERATION 

   

001675 

Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece 
to be cut without the wheel making any contact. Then 
turn the tool on and wait until the wheel attains full speed. 
Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece 
surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the 
cutting is completed. Keep your cutting line straight and 
your speed of advance uniform. 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line 
and gently. Forcing and exerting excessive 
pressure or allowing the wheel to bend, pinch or 
twist in the cut can cause overheating of the motor 
and dangerous kickback of the tool.
