CAUTION
○ If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has
been left for a long time in a location subject to direct
sunlight or because the battery has just been used,
the pilot lamp of the charger lights up green or lights
for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for
0.5 seconds). In such a case, fi rst let the battery cool,
then start charging.
○ When the pilot lamp fl ickers in red (at 0.2-seconds
intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in
the charger's battery connector. If there are no foreign
objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service
Center.

*5 How to move the random orbit sander
CAUTION
○ Immediately after use, always ensure that the switch is in
the OFF position and pull out the battery.
○ Since the sander may suck in dust and debris, be careful
not to place it where there is much dust and debris when
it is still spinning right after use.
○ Looking from above, the sanding pad rotates clockwise
during the loaded operation, but it may rotate
counterclockwise during the no-load operation.
○ Never run the tool without the sanding paper. You may
seriously damage the pad.
○ Using the tool with the pad edge contacting the
workpiece may damage the pad.

Selecting accessories
*1 Removing and inserting the battery
CAUTION
Before installing or removing the battery, turn the switch
to the OFF position.
If the battery is inserted with the switch in the ON
position, the motor will operate unexpectedly.
*2 Installing the sanding paper
Since the attachment is a hook-and-loop type, the
sanding paper can be installed easily by just pressing it
onto the pad. Gently pinch and hold together two places
on the edges of the sanding paper so that two holes are
visible on the bottom. (Fig. 4-a)
Overlap the two holes of the sanding paper with two
holes of the pad, and attach the whole surface of the
sanding paper to the pad so that the remaining holes are
also aligned. (Fig. 4-b)
*3 Attaching the dust bag
If too much dust accumulates in the dust bag, the dust
collection power will be reduced.
Dispose of dust as soon as possible.

NOTE
Movement of the sander may tend to become unsteady
after new sanding paper has been installed, because of
the new, coarse grain of the paper. This can be avoided
by slightly tilting the sander forward or backward during
sanding or polishing. Sander movement will become
steady as the sanding paper surface becomes properly
abraded.
