The sanding pad has a hook and loop type fitting sys-
tem 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).

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
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.
► Fig.6
NOTE: Forcing or excessive pressure on the tool may
reduce efficiency.
NOTE: Before cutting operation, it is recommended to
preset the orbital stroke rate 3 - 5.
Sanding
CAUTION:
Do not reuse a sanding paper used
for sanding metal to sand wood.
CAUTION:
Do not use a worn sanding paper
or sanding paper without grit.
Apply a sanding paper on the workpiece.
► Fig.7
NOTE: Using a test material sample to try is recom-
mendable to determine a correct orbital stroke rate
suitable for your work.
NOTE: 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.
Dust extraction attachment
Optional accessory
WARNING:
Do not use extraction attachment
when grinding a metallic workpiece with this tool.
Hot dust may ignite dust in the vacuum cleaner and it
may cause fire.
When you wish to perform cleaner operation, install the
dust extraction attachment to the tool. Connect a hose
of vacuum cleaner to the dust extraction attachment.
► Fig.8
Assemble the dust extraction attachment and install it
to the tool.
1.
Install joint, dust nozzle and dust attachment.
2.
Install the nozzle band on the tool so that its pro-
trusions fit in the holes in the tool to secure it.
3.
Put the felt ring, spacer (if necessary), and the
sanding pad on the dust attachment and then secure
them with the application tool installation bolt.
