OPERATION

CAUTION:
Always maintain a firm grip on the
tool during operation.
CAUTION:
Do not force the tool. 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.
CAUTION:
When cutting plastics, be sure not
to overheat the cutting wheel. It may result in melt-
ing the workpiece.
CAUTION:
Do not bang or bump a cutting
wheel when starting or during operation.
CAUTION:
Always wear safety goggles or a
face shield during operation.
CAUTION:
After operation, always switch off
the tool and wait until the wheel has come to a
complete stop before putting the tool down.
Down cutting
NOTICE:
Exercise due care about using an effec-
tive cutting surface of the wheel so as to avoid
exposure towards cut-off particles.
NOTICE:
Keep a cutting wheel stand straight in
workpiece and avoid tilting or swinging the tool
during operation.
