• Never actuate the shaft lock when the spindle is
moving. The tool may be damaged.
Press the shaft lock to prevent spindle rotation when
installing or removing accessories.

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch lever actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when the rear of the switch lever is
depressed.
To start the tool, slide the switch lever toward the "I (ON)"
position. For continuous operation, press the front of the
switch lever to lock it.
To stop the tool, press the rear of the switch lever, then
slide it toward the "O (OFF)" position.

CAUTION
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds, the
motor will get overloaded and heated up.
• 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
Constant speed control
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is
kept constant even under the loaded condition.
Additionally, when the load on the tool exceeds
admissible levels, power to the motor is reduced to protect
the motor from overheating. When the load returns to
admissible levels, the tool will operate as normal.
Soft start feature
Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
Opening or closing of water lever (Fig. 5)
To keep the lever on the tool for water flow open, turn it to
the position A where the water passage will be ready.
Return it to the position B to close.
