OPERATING (FIG. 6)
Never cover air vents since they must always be open for
proper motor cooling.
Make sure that the work piece is free of nails and other
foreign objects that could tear the abrasive belt.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the switch on
and permit the rotation of the abrasive belt to reach full
speed. Then gently place the tool on the work piece
surface. Move the tool back and forth. Never exert
excessive pressure on the tool. The weight of the tool
applies adequate pressure. Excessive pressure will retard
the abrasive action, leave an uneven finish and cause
extra wear to both the tool and the abrasive belt. Always
lift the tool off the work piece before turning the switch off.
