How to use
Adjust the handle to a comfortable operating position before starting. Select high or low speed based on the application—use high speed for aggressive coating removal and low speed for finer profiling. Add or remove the included weights to adjust head pressure as needed. For edge work, rotate the dust skirt up on the desired side to grind within a half inch of walls. The LED light illuminates the surface behind the machine for improved visibility.
