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)" position.

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: 1. Indication lamp
• When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the
indication 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 battery cartridge is removed before carrying
out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing application
tool (optional accessory)
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.

wrench 3. Tighten
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 appli-
cation tool on the sanding pad so that it matches the
sanding 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.

OPERATION
WARNING:
• Before starting the tool and during operation,
keep your hand and face away from the applica-
tion tool.

• 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.

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 4 - 6.
