FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool. Failure to switch off
and remove the battery cartridge may result in serious
personal injury from accidental start-up.
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing
of the battery cartridge.
• Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when
installing or removing battery cartridge. Failure to
hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly may cause
them to slip off your hands and result in damage to the
tool and battery cartridge and a personal injury.
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it
into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a
little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper
side of the button, it is not locked completely.
CAUTION:
• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red
indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall
out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the car-
tridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly.
Battery protection system (Lithium-ion battery
with star marking) (Fig. 2)
Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped
with a protection system. This system automatically cuts
off power to the tool to extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the
tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
• Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw
an abnormally high current.
In this situation, slide the slide switch on the tool toward
the "O (OFF)" position and stop the application that
caused the tool to become overloaded. Then slide the
slide switch toward the "I (ON)" position again to
restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In
this situation, let the battery cool before sliding the slide
switch toward the "I (ON)" position again.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool
will not operate. In this situation, remove and recharge
the battery.

Overheat protection

When the tool is overloaded and the tool temperature
reaches a certain level, the tool automatically stops. In
this situation, let the tool cool before turning on the tool
again.
Switch action (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
• Before installing the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the tool is switched off.
To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the "I (ON)"
position.
To stop the tool, slide the slide switch toward the
"O (OFF)" position.
Adjusting the orbital stroke rate (Fig. 4)
The orbital stroke rate is adjustable. To change the orbital
stroke rate, turn the dial between 1 and 6. The higher the
number is, the higher the orbital stroke rate is. Preset the
dial to the number suitable for your workpiece.
NOTE:
• The dial cannot be turned directly from 1 to 6 or from 6
to 1. Forcing the dial may damage the tool. When
changing the dial direction, always turn the dial moving
it through each intermediate number.
Indication lamp (Fig. 5)
• When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the indi-
cation lamp blinks.
• When the remaining battery capacity gets much lower,
the tool stops during operation and the indication lamp
lights up about 10 seconds.
At this time, remove the battery cartridge from the tool
and charge it.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work
on the tool.
Installing or removing application tool (optional
accessory) (Fig. 6, 7, 8 & 9)
WARNING:
• Do not install application tool upside down. Installing
application tool upside down may damage the tool and
cause serious personal injury.
• Install attachment tool in the correct direction according
to your work. Application tool can be installed at an
angle of every 30 degree.
CAUTION:
• Be careful when closing the lock lever. The lock lever
may close suddenly and pinch your finger.
• Clean up dust and perform lubrication on the moving
part of the lock lever from time to time.
Otherwise dust may accumulate in the moving part of
the lock lever and hinder its smooth movement.
• Do not start the tool while the lever opens. The tool
may be damaged.
1. Open the lock lever fully. And remove the holder
bolt.
2. Put an application tool (optional accessory) on the
tool flange so that the protrusions of the tool flange
fit in the holes in the application tool.
3. Insert the holder bolt till it stops. And then, return the
lock lever to its original position.
When using sanding application tool, mount the applica-
tion tool on the sanding pad so that it matches the sand-
ing pad direction.
The sanding pad has a hook and loop type fitting system
which allows easy and rapid fitting of a sanding paper.
