Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
CAUTION
Do not operate on Direct Current power source.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool
will start operating immediately, inviting serious
accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
PRECAUTIONS ON USING POLISHER
1 . Do not leave the revolving polisher unattended
on the floor.
2. Always hold the body handle and side handle of
the polisher firmly.
Otherwise the counterforce produced may result
in inaccurate and even dangerous operation.
CAUTION
Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.
4. Fixing the side handle
Screw the side handle into the housing.
5. Confirm the lock lever
Confirm that the lock lever is disengaged by pushing
lock lever two or three times before switching the
power tool on (See
Fig. 1 )
6. Adjusting the number of revolution
The SP18VB model is equipped with an electronic
infinite-variable-speed drive and can change the
number of revolution according to a use.
If you turn and set the dial scale (
Fig. 3 ) to 6, the
number of revolution increases, and if you turn and
set it to 1, the number of revolution decreases.
Before use, set the number of revolution using the
dial. In so doing, refer to the following table as
a rough guide.
Note: Use caution not to turn the dial scale to any
value below 1 or above 6.
7. Install the air cover on the air vent on the side where
the side handle is attached to divert the cooling air
flow of the motor during operation as much as
possible. Hook tab of the air cover to the air vent and
push in the tab when installing. Use a screwdriver
etc. to pull as shown in
Fig. 4 when removing.
