OPERATION CAUTION: THIS TOOL SHOULD ONLY BE USED ON HORIZONTAL SURFACES. 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. Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece to be cut without the diamond wheel making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the diamond 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. After use Clean the dust inside of the tool by running the tool at an idle for a while. Brush off accumulation of dust on the base. Accumulation of dust in the motor or on the base may cause a malfunction of the tool. Replacing carbon brushes Check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace them when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes. 1 ► 1 .

NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result. Dressing diamond wheel If the cutting action of the diamond wheel begins to diminish, use an old discarded coarse grit bench grinder wheel or concrete block to dress the diamond wheel. To do this, tightly secure the bench grinder wheel or concrete block and cut in it. 1 ► 1 . Screwdriver 2.
