Indicator lamps
Lighted Off
015658
NOTE:
• Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient
temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the
actual capacity.
• The first (far left) indicator lamp will blink when the bat-
tery protection system works.
Switch action (Fig. 4)
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. 5)
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.
Lighting up the front lamp (Fig. 6)
WARNING:
• Never look into the light directly. Direct light causes
damage to your eyes.
Slide the slide switch toward the "I (ON)" position to light
up the front lamp. The lamp keeps on lighting while the
switch is the "I (ON)" position. The light automatically
goes out after pressing the rear of the slide switch, and
then sliding the slide switch toward the "O (OFF)" posi-
tion.
Overload protection
When the tool is overloaded and the tool temperature
reaches a certain level, the front lamp blinks and the tool
automatically stops. Remove a cause of overload to
restart.
Indication lamp (Fig. 7)
• When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the indi-
cation lamp blinks.

Remaining
Capacity
Blinking
0% to 25%
Charge the
battery.
The battery may
have
malfunctioned.
• 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. 8, 9 & 10)
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.
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 and secure the application
tool by tightening the bolt firmly with the hex wrench.
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.
As sanding papers have holes for dust extraction, mount
a sanding paper so that the holes in a sanding paper
match those in the sanding pad.
To remove a sanding paper, raise its end and peel it off.
Loosen and remove the application tool installation bolt
using a hex wrench and then take off the application tool.
When using application tools with a different type of
installation section, use a correct adapter (optional
accessory).
Hex wrench storage (Fig. 11)
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
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. 12)
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.
