Operation Tips for More Accurate Cuts
• Allow the wheel to do the cutting. Excessive force will cause
the wheel to glaze reducing cutting efficiency and/or to deflect
causing inaccurate cuts.
• Properly adjust fence angle.
• Make sure material is laying flat across base.
• Properly clamp material to avoid movement and vibration.

disconnect tool from power source before installing and

should be replaced. To reinstall, push new brush back into brush
box. If replacing existing brush, maintain same orientation as when
removed. Replace the brush cap (do not overtighten).
