OPERATION
Fig.8
Turn the tool on without the wheel point making any
contact with the workpiece and wait until the wheel point
attains full speed. Then apply the wheel point to the
workpiece gently. To obtain a good finish, move the tool
in the leftward direction slowly.
CAUTION:
•
Apply light pressure on the tool. Excessive
pressure on the tool will only cause a poor finish
and overloading of the motor.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
•
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
