Installing cover (A)

Install the cover (A) on the tool so that its side with “Upside

” mark faces upward.

OPERATION

Adjust the amount of water flow. Hold the tool firmly. Set the
base plate on the workpiece to be cut without the wheel mak-
ing 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:

THIS TOOL SHOULD ONLY BE USED ON
HORIZONTAL SURFACES.

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.

Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the
motor, the depth of cut should not be more than 20 mm
(13/16”) at a pass. When you wish to cut more than
20 mm (13/16”) deep, make a couple of passes with
progressively deeper settings.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
