Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a)
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b)
Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c)
Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite
to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d)
Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging
the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing
have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
e)
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations:
a)
Do not allow any loose portion of the
polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to
spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings.
Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your fingers or
snag on the workpiece.
Additional safety warnings:
16.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
17.
Check that the workpiece is properly
supported.
18.
If working place is extremely hot and humid,
or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a
short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure
operator safety.
19.
Do not use the tool on any materials
containing asbestos.

the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and
then push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be changed by turning the speed
adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 5.
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the
direction of number 5. And lower speed is obtained
when it is turned in the direction of number 1.
Refer to the table for the relationship between the number
settings on the dial and the approximate tool speed.

CAUTION:
•
If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds
for a long time, the motor will get overloaded,
resulting in tool malfunction.
•
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.
The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.
•
Electronic constant speed control
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating
speed is kept constant even under the loaded
condition.
•
Soft start feature
Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
