HOS ORBOT MICRO Instruction Manual page 4

Extension Cord
uu) With the Orbot Micro, use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
Replace or repair damaged cords. When using this tool at a distance from the power source, a three conductor grounding type extension cord of ADEQUATE SIZE
must be used for safety and to prevent the loss of power and overheating.
Motor
vv) Your Orbot Micro is powered by a sturdy motor. Be certain your power supply agrees with that shown on the name plate (a.c. means alternating current). Variance in
your power supply's voltage may result in loss of power and overheating. This tool is factory tested. Built into the motor of the Model 6CE is a thermal circuit interrupt.
This device will open the power circuit if the motor windings exceed 120 – 130 C. It is not resettable, and if it the protector is activated, the motor field (stator) may
have to be replaced. If it will not operate, check electric supply for blown fuses; check plug and electrical receptacle for proper contact.
Additional Safety Instructions:
ww) Do not Abuse Cord. Do not force sharp bend in cord, especially where it exits the handle and particularly when curling cord for storage.
xx) Maintain Tool with Care. Keep the tool clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect cord periodically
and, if damaged, have repaired by a Orbot Micro service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Using compressed air, blow dry the bearings under the heads or pads, and blow away dirt or lint inside the motor case. This should only be performed
with the power cord disconnected and with proper eye protection.
yy) Keep Work Area Clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
zz) Use the Right Tool. Do not force a small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.
aaa) Use Proper Support. Ensure that you have provided proper support for the work piece. A loose work piece may be propelled by the tool if not supported or fixed in
place.
bbb) Check Damaged Parts. Before further use of tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine whether it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition which may
affect the tools operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized Orbot Micro service center unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by a Orbot Micro service center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn
tool on and off.
ccc) Handles Should Remain Insulated. Do not operate the tool without the properly insulated handles. NOTE: If shrink wrap insulation on the rear metal handle is
damaged or is removed at the time of repair, it must be replaced before the tool is put back into service. The proper precut length is available from Orbot Micro or
your dealer. When re-installing, be sure not to cover any part of the "1" or "0" (on/off) indicators embossed in the aluminum handle.
ddd) Use only Orbot Micro Recommended Products. The use of accessories or attachments other than those recommended in these operating instructions may present a
risk of personal injury.
eee) Use of Residual Current Device is Recommended. The use of residual current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less is recommended. In the United
States and Canada, a residual current device is also known as a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), ground fault interrupter (GFI) or an appliance leakage current
interrupter (ALCI). In Australia they are sometimes known as "safety switches" or simply "RCD" and in the United Kingdom they can be referred to as "trips" or "trip
switches."
