Operation...
Letthetooldothework.Donotputextremepressureonthe
machine.Thiswillonlyslowdownthespeedofthecuttingwheel,
reducecuttingefficiency,andputanadditionalburdenonthe
motor.Startthetooloffthework,setitdownontheworkevenly
andmoveinthedirectiondesiredtomakethecut.Whenfinished
cutting,liftofftheworkbeforestoppingthemotor.
