OPERATION
CAUTION:
Proper handle pressure during
cutting and maximum cutting efficiency can
be determined by the amount of sparks that is
produced while cutting. 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.
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.

Maximum cutting capacity varies depending on the
cutting angle and workpiece shape.
