FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Switch action
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always
check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.
► Fig.1: 1. Switch trigger 2. Lock button
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. The
rotation speed will increase as you pull the trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop. For continuous oper-
ation, pull the switch trigger, push in the lock button and
then release the switch trigger. To stop the tool from the
locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.
CAUTION:
Switch can be locked in "ON" posi-
tion for ease of operator comfort during extended
use. Apply caution when locking tool in "ON"
position and maintain firm grasp on tool.
CAUTION:
Do not plug in the tool with the
lock-on switch engaged. The tool will be run unsup-
ported and it may cause a personal injury or breakage.
Speed adjusting dial
► Fig.2: 1. Speed adjusting dial
The rotating 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 num-
ber settings on the dial and the approximate rotating
speed.

NOTICE:
If the tool is operated continuously
at low speeds for a long time, the motor will get
overloaded, resulting in tool malfunction.
NOTICE:
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
The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.
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.
Selecting the action mode
Turn the change knob to alter the rotation mode.
► Fig.3: 1. Change knob
NOTICE:
Always turn the knob fully. If the knob is
in the middle position, you can not turn on the tool.
NOTICE:
You can not change the action mode
when the tool is switched on.
Random orbit with forced rotation
mode
► Fig.4
Random orbit with forced rotation mode is orbital action with forced
rotation of the pad for rough polishing such as surface treatment.
Rotate the change knob counterclockwise for random
orbit with forced rotation mode.
Random orbit mode
► Fig.5
Random orbit mode is orbital action with free rotation of
the pad for fine polishing.
Rotate the change knob clockwise for random orbit mode.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched
off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing the backing pad
► Fig.6: 1. Backing pad 2. Hex wrench
Put the backing pad on the shaft then turn the bolt
clockwise with a hex wrench.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the backing pad is
secured properly. Loose attachment will run out of
balance and cause a excessive vibration which may
cause loss of control.
Installing side grip
Optional accessory
► Fig.7: 1. Cap 2. Side grip
Remove the cap and screw the side grip on the tool securely.
The side grip can be installed on either side of the tool.
