Connect the machine to the power source. Put the machine on the left as shown in
the figure. Make sure that the workpiece is stable.
To start the motor, press and hold the switch lock (
1
) and the ON/OFF switch (
2
),
and then release the lock. Wait some seconds until the speed is at the required
value. With the two hands press
the
machine
to
the
workpiece. Then, slowly move the
machine to the edge (
3
) until the tool starts cutting. Move the machine from left to
right (
4
).
Start with making small widths (3
–4 mm, 0.12–0.16″) and increase them with
experience. Bevel in at least two passes. Set the bevel width to a value that will allow
the feed of 1 m/min (3 ft/min) without using too much force.
If an overload occurs, the motor stops. This can happen when the bevel width is
too large for the hardness of material or when the cutting inserts are dull. Thus, to
prevent overload, machine hard materials in multiple passes and replace the inserts
before they become dull. Also, take periodic breaks during work and keep the air
vents unclogged. This prevents motor overheating and damage to the windings.
After the work is finished, release the ON/OFF switch to turn off the motor. Then,
wait until the rotation stops and unplug the power cord.
Clean the machine with a dry cotton cloth and no chemical agents.
