OPERATION
WARNING:
• Before starting the tool and during operation, keep your
hand and face away from the application tool.
CAUTION:
• Do not apply excessive load to the tool which may
cause a motor lock and stop the tool.
Cutting, sawing and scraping (Fig. 6)
CAUTION:
• Do not move on the tool forcibly in the direction (eg.
towards either side) of tool application with no cutting
edge. It may damage the tool.
Put the application tool on the workpiece.
And then move the tool forward so that the application
tool movement does not slow down.
NOTE:
• Forcing or excessive pressure on the tool may reduce
efficiency.
• Before cutting operation, it is recommended to preset
the orbital stroke rate 3 – 5.
Sanding (Fig. 7)
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse a sanding paper used for sanding metal
to sand wood.
• Do not use a worn sanding paper or sanding paper
without grit.
Apply a sanding paper on the workpiece.
NOTE:
• Using a test material sample to try is recommendable
to determine a correct orbital stroke rate suitable for
your work.
• Use a sanding paper with the same grit until sanding
the whole workpiece is completed. Replacing a sand-
ing paper with different grit sanding paper may not get
a fine finish.
Dust extraction attachment (optional accessory)
(Fig. 8, 9 & 10)
• Install joint, dust nozzle and dust attachment.
• Install the nozzle band on the tool so that its protru-
sions fit in the holes in the tool to secure it.
• Put the felt ring and the sanding pad on the dust attach-
ment and then secure them with the application tool
installation bolt.
When you wish to perform cleaner operation, connect a
vacuum cleaner to your tool. Connect a hose of vacuum
cleaner to the dust extraction attachment (optional
accessory).

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
