This is one of my all time favorite power tools. It's easy to load and it's super smooth to operate. I keep the clamp lever attached to the power cord using a zip tie to make sure it's always handy. It also helps a lot to use it out doors if possible but if you are using it indoors try and have some air/filtration dust collection solution to protect your lungs and keep your home or workplace clean. There have been a few times when the counter-balance got stuck so it vibrated but if you power it off and tap it with your hand a few times the balance will free up and all will be vibration free again.
