General Usage Tips
- Always test the tool and accessory on a scrap piece of material before beginning your main project to ensure the correct speed and technique.
- Apply light, consistent pressure. Allow the tool and accessory to do the work. Excessive pressure can lead to accessory wear, tool overheating, and reduced control.
- Keep the tool moving across the workpiece to prevent burning, gouging, or uneven material removal.
- For delicate tasks requiring fine detail, use lower speed settings. For heavier material removal or cutting, higher speeds may be more effective.
- Ensure your workspace is well-ventilated, especially when working with materials that produce fine dust or fumes.
