CAUTION: Before installing the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. CAUTION: Do not pull the switch trigger hard without pressing in the lock-off button. This can cause switch breakage. CAUTION: The tool starts to brake the wheel rotation immediately after you release the switch trigger. Hold the tool firmly to respond the reaction of the brake when releasing the switch trigger. Sudden reaction can drop the tool off your hand and can cause a personal injury. To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, press and hold the lock-off button, and then pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop. Wheel rotation can be changed in either forward or reverse direction. To set the forward rotation, slide the reversing switch to the left until "F" indication appears on the switch. To select the reverse rotation, slide the reversing switch to the right until "R" indication appears on the switch. 1 2 1 Fig.3 ► 1  . Switch trigger 2. Lock-off button Wheel selection CAUTION: The outside diameter, thickness and rated speed of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. CAUTION: Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. Select one of the most appropriate types of cutting wheels according to your application. Wheel type Cut off wheel Tungsten carbide grit wheel Diamond Wheel Practical applications Cutting steel, stainless steel, metals Cutting plastics, plaster, composite materials Cutting tiles, ceramics Wheel rotation direction CAUTION: Always check the direction of rotation before operation. CAUTION: Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a complete stop. A sudden switch in rotation direction during operation brings the tool to a sharp stop for safety reasons. Fig.4 ► 1  . Reversing switch Chips, debris, sparks, and cutting particles tend to fly off along a tangent direction of the wheel rotation. Use the wheel guard effectively to avoid continued exposure towards cut-off particles so it can discharge some of cutting dust and particles into an alternative direction. A reaction to a rapid stalling of the rotating wheel could make the tool uncontrolled in the direction opposite to the wheel rotation. Forward rotation 1 2 1 1 2 Fig.5 ► 1  . Cut-off particles 2.
