Filling the water compartment
1. The water compartment
(8) is incorporated into the
main housing
2. The water helps to cool
the cutting disc and also
limits the amount of dust
produced during the cutting
process.
3. Fill the water compartment
with water. The maximum
water level is automatically
controlled by the drainage
hole on top of the plug,
the top of this plug acts
as the water fill line. When
the water level exceeds the
maximum level water will
flow out through the hole.
4. Always fill the water
compartment to the top of the water fill line to ensure
the cutting disc is sufficiently cooled.
