Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 4)
For GV7000C only
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.
Installing or removing abrasive disc

seriously damage the pad.
Keep the abrasive disc at an angle of about 15° to the
workpiece surface.
