Speed adjusting dial
► Fig.2: 1. Speed adjusting dial
The rotating speed can be changed by turning the
speed adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to
5. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in
the direction of number 5. And lower speed is obtained
when it is turned in the direction of number 1.
Refer to the table for the relationship between the num-
ber settings on the dial and the approximate rotating
speed.

NOTICE:
If the tool is operated continuously
at low speeds for a long time, the motor will get
overloaded, resulting in tool malfunction.
NOTICE:
The speed adjusting dial can be turned
only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past
5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no
longer work.

Electronic function

The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.
Constant speed control
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is
kept constant even under the loaded condition.
Soft start feature
Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
Selecting the action mode
Turn the change knob to alter the rotation mode.

Random orbit with forced rotation mode is orbital action
with forced rotation of the pad for rough polishing such
as surface treatment.
Rotate the change knob counterclockwise for random
orbit with forced rotation mode.

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Installing the backing pad
► Fig.6: 1. Backing pad 2. Hex wrench
Put the backing pad on the shaft then turn the bolt
clockwise with a hex wrench.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the backing pad is
secured properly. Loose attachment will run out of
balance and cause a excessive vibration which may
cause loss of control.
Installing side grip
Optional accessory
► Fig.7: 1. Cap 2. Side grip
Remove the cap and screw the side grip on the tool
securely.
The side grip can be installed on either side of the tool.

Only use hook-and-loop system
pads for polishing.
► Fig.8: 1. Pad
To install the pad, first remove all dirt and foreign mat-
ter from the hook-and-loop system of the pad and the
backing pad. Attach the pad to the backing pad so that
their edges are aligned.
To remove the pad from the backing pad, just pull up
