Indication lamp
► Fig.6: 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 dam-
age 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.
► Fig.7: 1. Holder bolt 2. Lock lever
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. Protrusions of the tool flange
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 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.
To remove the holder bolt, follow the installation proce-
dures in reverse.
► Fig.10: 1. Adapter
When using application tools with a different type of
installation section, use a correct adapter (optional
accessory).
OPERATION
WARNING:
• Before starting the tool and during operation,
keep your hand and face away from the applica-
tion tool.
CAUTION:
• Do not apply excessive load to the tool which
may cause a motor lock and stop the tool.
Cutting, sawing and scraping
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.
► Fig.11
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 4 - 6.
• Remove sawdust by drawing the tool ade-
quately. It increases work efficiency.
• The round saw is recommended for cutting long
straight line.
Sanding
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.
► Fig.12
Apply a sanding paper on the workpiece.
NOTE:
• Using a test material sample to try is recom-
mendable 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 sanding paper with different grit
sanding paper may not get a fine finish.
