CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a long time, 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 adjust-
ing function may no longer work.
Selecting action mode (Fig. 6 & 7)
Use the change knob to change the rotation mode. Roto-orbit mode is orbital action plus rotation action of pad for
rough sanding and polishing. Random orbit mode is orbital action of pad for fine sanding. Rotate the change knob
counterclockwise for roto-orbit mode and clockwise for random orbit mode.
CAUTION:
• Do not rotate the change lever when the tool is running under load. The tool will be damaged.
Typical applications for sanding and polishing
Sanding
Polishing
The above information is intended only as a guide. In each case, the most appropriate sanding disc grain should be
determined by preliminary trials.
The tool equipped with electronic function is easy to operate because of the following features.
• Constant speed control
Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is kept constant even under load condition.
• Soft start feature
Safety and soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
