FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off
and unplugged before adjusting or checking
function on the tool. Failure to switch off and
unplug the tool may result in serious personal
injury from accidental start-up.
Switch action
► Fig.1: 1. Slide switch
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the tool is switched off.
To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the "I
(ON)" position.

(OFF)" position.
Adjusting the orbital stroke rate
► Fig.2: 1. Dial
The orbital stroke rate is adjustable. To change the
orbital stroke rate, turn the dial between 1 and 5. The
higher the number is, the higher the orbital stroke rate is.
Preset the dial to the number suitable for your workpiece.
NOTE:
• The dial cannot be turned directly from 1 to 5 or
from 5 to 1. Forcing the dial may damage the tool.
When changing the dial direction, always turn the
dial moving it through each intermediate number.
Constant speed control
Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.
Possible to get fine finish, because the orbital stroke
rate is kept constant even under load condition.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
Installing or removing application
tool (optional accessory)
WARNING:

Installing application tool upside down may dam-
age the tool and cause serious personal injury.
• Install attachment tool in the correct direction
according to your work. Application tool can be
installed at an angle of every 30 degree.
CAUTION:
• Be careful when closing the lock lever. The lock
lever may close suddenly and pinch your finger.
• Clean up dust and perform lubrication on the
moving part of the lock lever from time to time.
Otherwise dust may accumulate in the moving
part of the lock lever and hinder its smooth

When using sanding application tool, mount the appli-
cation tool on the sanding pad so that it matches the
sanding pad direction.
The sanding pad has a hook and loop type fitting sys-
tem which allows easy and rapid fitting of a sanding
paper.
As sanding papers have holes for dust extraction,
mount a sanding paper so that the holes in a sanding
paper match those in the sanding pad.
To remove a sanding paper, raise its end and peel it off.
To remove the holder bolt, follow the installation proce-
dures in reverse.
