4. Setup and Preparation

4.1. Unpacking

Carefully remove the wall chaser and all accessories from the carrying case. Check for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Keep the packaging for future storage or transport.

4.2. Blade Installation/Adjustment

Ensure the tool is unplugged before handling the blades. The WSM 1009 uses two diamond cutting blades. Refer to the tool's markings for correct blade rotation direction. Adjust the spacing between the blades to achieve the desired cutting width (14-29 mm) using the provided spacers and wrench.

The cutting depth can be adjusted up to 28 mm. Use the depth adjustment knob to set the desired depth. The scale on the tool indicates common depth settings (e.g., 14mm, 21mm, 28mm). Ensure the setting is securely locked before operation.

4.4. Dust Extraction Connection

For a healthy and safe working environment, connect a suitable dust extraction system to the dust extraction port of the wall chaser. This will significantly reduce airborne dust during operation.

4.5. Laser Guide Batteries

The laser guide requires batteries (included). Install them according to the polarity markings in the battery compartment. The laser guide assists in achieving ultimate precision during cutting.

5. Operating Instructions
