Operation Manual

Switch action (Fig. 8)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the machine, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the ‘‘OFF’’ position when released.
To start the machine, simply pull the trigger. Release
the trigger to stop.
Overload protector (Fig. 9)
The overload protector automatically cuts out to break
the circuit and the button pops out, whenever heavy
work is prolonged. Wait 20 – 30 seconds before
pressing the restart button to resume operation. Your
finger should not be on the trigger when you press the
restart button, however.
Operation (Fig. 10)
Hold the machine firmly. Set the base plate on the
workpiece to be cut without the wheel making any
contact. Then turn the machine on and wait until the
wheel attains full speed. Now simply move the
machine forward over the workpiece surface, keeping
it flat and advancing smoothly until the cutting is
completed. Keep your cutting line straight and your
speed of advance uniform.
CAUTION:
Be sure to move the machine forward in a straight line
and gently. Forcing and exerting excessive pressure
or allowing the wheel to bend, pinch or twist in the cut
can cause overheating of the motor and dangerous
kickback of the machine.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the machine is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
machine.
Replacement of carbon brushes
(Fig. 11 & 12)
Replace carbon brushes when they are worn down to
the limit mark. Both identical carbon brushes should
be replaced at the same time.
After use
After use, remove dust from the inside of the machine
by running the machine at an idle for a while. Accu-
mulation of dust in the motor may cause a malfunction
of the machine.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs,
maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by
