NOTICE:
Keep the cock closed until you start the
cutting operation with water feeding. For how to
feed water, refer to the section for the operation.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Be sure to lock the cover for bat-
tery compartment before operating.
CAUTION:
Be sure to hold the workpiece
firmly down on a stable bench or table during
operation.
CAUTION:
Do not twist or force the tool in the
cut, or the motor may be overloaded or the work-
piece may break.
Cutting
CAUTION:
During operation, do not bring the
tool higher than your shoulder height.
Hold the tool firmly. Grasp the handle with your right
hand and the grip with your left hand. To prevent electric

Move the tool over the workpiece surface, keeping it
flat and advancing smoothly until the cutting is com -
pleted. Keep your cutting line straight and your speed of
advance uniform.
NOTE: When the battery cartridge temperature is
low, the tool may not work to its full capacity. At this
time, for example, use the tool for a light-duty cut for
a while until the battery cartridge warms up as high
as room temperature. Then, the tool can work to its
full capacity.
NOTE: If the cutting action of the diamond wheel
begins to diminish, dress the cutting edge of the
wheel using an old discarded coarse grit bench
grinder wheel or concrete block. Dress by pressing
lightly on the outer edge of the diamond wheel.
When feeding water during cutting
CAUTION:
When using a wet-type diamond
wheel, always feed water during cutting.
Connect the tool to the water supply and turn the cock
in the direction of the arrow as illustrated. Adjust the
position of the cock to obtain a gentle flow of water.
