PRECOUTIONS ON USING RONDOM ORBIT
SANDER
The sanding action of the Random Orbit Sander is differ-
ent to that of a conventional disk or orbital sander. For
best results follow these simple operating procedures:
1. Work with the pad flat on the work surface. Because
of the eccentric orbit, the sander may be damaged
if it is operated at an angle to the working surface.
(Fig. 1)
2. Do not use excessive pressure - let the abrasive do
the cutting.
3. Take care that the pad does not strike against
adjacent surfaces or into corners. Repeated impacts
will damage the pad. (Fig. 2)
4. Once the sanding paper begins to clog, particularly
with paint and glue, it will quickly over heat. Change
the sanding paper after it has cooled down!

5. Sanding generates considerable heat. Do not keep
sanding after the sanding paper is too hot to touch
as the heat will melt the hooks on the pad. The
sanding paper will then no longer adhere to the
pad which can cause injury to the operator or
bystanders. It is recommended that the sanding
paper be allowed to cool down after each 5-10
minutes of operation.
Note: Use on plaster, fibregrass or varnished sur-
faces is not recommended.
6. Do not concentrate the sanding head on sharp
edges. This will cause sanding paper to overheat,
resulting in a deterioration of the pad. (Fig. 3)
7. Use only genuine HITACHI replacement sanding
paper. Non-genuine sanding paper (particularly
ventilated discs) can cause the pad hooks to clog.
This will prevent sanding paper from clinging to the
pad.

PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized con-
forms to the power requirements specified on the
product nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool
will start operating immediately, inviting a serious
accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
