Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 4)
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
below for the relationship between the number settings
on the dial and the approximate rotating speed.
Number
1 – 2
2 – 3
3 – 4
4 – 5
CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds
(speed adjusting dial: 1 – 3), the motor will get over-
loaded 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 sup-
pressed starting shock.
High-Low speed setting button (Fig. 3 & 5)
The tool speed can be changed instantly while the tool is
running. Depress the " I " position for lowest speed and
depress " II " position for a given number setting. The tool
speed cannot be changed when the button is in " I " posi-
tion, even if you turn the speed adjusting dial. When you
turn the speed adjusting dial, always be sure that the but-
ton is depressed in " II " position.
FOR USE AS A POLISHER

Polishing operation by sponge pad/wool
bonnet (Fig. 11 & 12)
CAUTION:
• Always wear safety glasses or a face shield during
operation.
• Apply slight pressure only. Excessive pressure will
result in poor performance and premature wear to the
sponge pad/wool bonnet.
When polishing, keep the sponge pad/wool bonnet at an
angle of about 15° to the workpiece surface.
FOR USE AS A SANDER
Installing or removing abrasive disc
(Fig. 13 & 14)
CAUTION:
