Assembly and setup
Before connecting to the power supply, ensure the voltage matches the rating plate. Always unplug the device before making adjustments.
Mounting the additional handle
The handle can be attached in three positions (A, B, C) to suit right-handed or left-handed users, or for specific cutting tasks.
Adjusting the protective guard
Ensure the guard is securely fastened. It should be positioned to direct sparks away from the operator. Loosen the clamping lever to rotate the guard to the desired position.

Maintenance and cleaning
Keep air vents and the motor housing clean. Use a clean cloth or low-pressure compressed air. Regularly clean the device with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh solvents. If excessive sparking occurs, have the carbon brushes checked by a qualified electrician.
