Operating Instructions
TO PREVENT
SERIOUS INJURY:
Grip the tool rmly.
To assist you with operation, please refer to the
Assembly Diagram and Parts List near the end of
the manual.
Never force the tool or attachment to do the work of
a larger industrial tool. It is designed to do the job
better and more safely at the rate for which it was
intended.
1. For most uses, it is helpful to grasp the tool much
like a pencil. This will allow the nest control of
the tool. Before starting on your actual workpiece,
practice a similar action (drilling, cutting, polishing)
on a scrap piece.
2. Apply only slight pressure. Let the tool do the
work. To prevent heat build-up, do not cover the air
vents with your hands during use.
