air space between the motor shaft and the bit to
help prevent overheating the bit.

WORK LIGHTS
The motor unit has two built-in work lights (5) (see Fig. 2)
These work lights automatically light up when the motor
switch is turned ON. Patterns or drawings in the
immediate vicinity of the bit will be illuminated for better
visibility and improved cutting accuracy.
SELECT APPROPRIATE MOTOR SPEED
Selecting the appropriate motor speed will ensure
smoother, more efficient cutting action. Choose LOW
speed for grinding, cuffing ptas6cs, polishing and when
using wire or brisite brushes, Choose HIGH speed when
cutting wood, using the angle grinder attachment, using
cut-off wheels and to reduce "chatter" that may develop
when cutting some matedals at LOW speed.
