start feature.
W
ait until the machine reaches the set
rotation
speed. Then you can place it on the workpiece and begin working
.
•
Do not attempt to increase the working speed by putting more pressure on it. The polishing and
sanding tools work more efficiently when only light pressure is applied.
•
If the machine heats
up intensely, allow it to run idle for 3 minutes so that the motor can cool down
.
Polishing
•
Select low speed for polishing in order to avoid excessive heating of the surface.
