GENERAL CUT OFFS

Maintain a firm grip and operate the switch with a decisive action. Never force the tool. Use a light and continuous pressure (Fig. 7).

FIG. 9

After completing a cut and the switch has been released, be aware of the necessary time it takes for the

wheel to come to a complete stop during coast down. Do NOT set the tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop.

1.Make sure material being cut is secured in a vise or fixture before attempting to cut

2.Keep your body positioned to either side of the wheel, but not in line with the wheel. It is important to support the tool properly and to position your body such as to minimize body exposure from possible wheel binding and recoil.

3.Grip the tool firmly while cutting and always be ready and able to manage the cut.

4.Avoid jamming, twisting or pinching the wheel with the workpiece of otherwise applying excessive side pressure to the wheel.

CUTTING TILE

Make sure material being cut is secured in a vise or fixture before attempting to cut.

Turn the tool on and wait for the wheel to reach full speed. For cuts that extend to the edge of a tile, cut all the way through edge(s) along your cut line.

Score the tile first along your cut line, making multiple passes to progressively cut through the tile.

This tool does not use wheels designed for face-grinding. If your cut requires a smooth, finished edge, use an appropriate tile finishing tool to refine the tile edge.

PLUNGE OR INTERIOR CUTS

The size and versatility of the Dremel SM20 make it an excellent option for making plunge or interior cuts into a workpiece such as flooring, paneling, or siding.

1.Mark the surface to be cut with the desired cut lines

2.Loosen the Depth Adjustment Lever so that the spring loaded foot releases and goes to the zero depth setting. Leave the Depth Adjustment Lever loose during this cut.

3.Rest the Foot of the tool on the workpieces and Align the tool’s wheel with the cut line (Fig. 8).

FIG. 10

4.While holding the tool firmly, Press the Paddle Switch and allow the tool’s wheel to come up to full speed.

5.Slowly plunge/lower the tool and wheel into the workpiece (Fig. 9).

6.Guide the tool forward and complete the cut

7.Release the Paddle Switch and allow the tool to come to a complete stop.

8.Remove the tool from the workpiece.

9.Repeat steps 3-8 as required to complete your cuts.
