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 adjusting function may no longer work.
The tools equipped with electronic function are 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.
Selecting the action mode
Roto-orbit mode
003292
Use the change lever 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.
Random orbit mode
003293
Rotate the change lever counterclockwise for roto-orbit
mode and clockwise for random orbit mode.
