3. Depress and hold the variable speed trigger
feed the wheel into the workpiece with firm even pressure,
allowing the tool to do the work. Do not force the cut off
tool through the workpiece. Forcing a cut off tool can cause
kickback. For maximum efficiency and wheel life, keep the
wheel speed high.
4. While cutting, if using the shoe, keep the shoe against the
workpiece and maintain a firm grip.
NOTE: If making a partial cut, restarting a cut, or correcting
cut direction, allow the wheels to come to a complete
stop. To resume cutting, pull the variable speed trigger and
re-enter the cut slowly.
5. To stop tool, release the variable speed trigger.
General Tips for Cutting Materials
For best control, user cutting direction should be
-
opposite wheel rotation. Example: When making a cut
away from user by pushing the tool forward, set wheel
rotation to reverse/clockwise direction.
Be sure that the wheel is at full speed before continuing
-
a cut.
-
Allow the wheel to come to a complete stop before
raising the wheel out of the material.
Cutting Tile
-
To reduce overheating of cutting wheel or workpiece,
user may lightly wet surface.
If excessive chipping of the tile is observed, user may
-
operate tool at slower speed using variable speed
trigger to achieve a cleaner cut.
-
Cutting tile will generate debris. Guard position may be
adjusted to deflect debris away from user.
Cutting Plastic
-
Take frequent breaks to allow wheel to cool down.
If melted material or debris becomes adhered to blade,
-
shoe or guard: Release trigger. Allow unit to rest and
material to cool. Remove battery. Remove debris. Ensure
all areas around wheel including inside of guard is clear
of debris. Resume cutting operation.
Cutting Metals
Observe the following to avoid potential hazards when
cutting metals.
-
During and shortly after cutting operation the material,
wheel and metal components on the tool such as
gearcase, guard and shoe may get hot.
-
Allow these areas to cool before touching to
avoid injury.
-
Cutting metal will generate sparks. Guard position may
be adjusted to deflect sparks and debris away from user.
Cutting material and cutting wheel may have sharp or
-
jagged edges after cutting operation. Wear gloves and
use caution when touching these areas.
