Switch action (Fig. 5)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" posi-
tion when the side of the switch lever is depressed.
To start the tool, slide the switch lever to " I " position.
For continuous operation, depress the front of the switch
lever and then slide to " I " position as above. The switch
is locked on the position for continuous operation. To stop
the tool from the locked position, slide the switch lever to
"O" position by depressing the rear of the switch lever.
Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 6)
The rotating speed can be changed by turning the speed
adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 5.
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the
direction of number 5. And lower speed is obtained when
it is turned in the direction of number 1. Refer to the table
below for the relationship between the number settings
on the dial and the approximate rotating speed.

5
CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a
long time, the motor will get overloaded and heated up.
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5
and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed
adjusting function may no longer work.
The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.
• Constant speed control
Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed
is kept constant even under load condition.
• Soft start feature
Safety and soft start because of suppressed starting
shock.
• Overload protector
When the tool would be employed over the admissible
load, it will stop automatically to protect the motor and
wheel. When the load will come to the admissible level
again, the tool can be started automatically.
Sanding operation (Fig. 7)
CAUTION:
Always wear safety glasses or a face shield during opera-
tion.
In general, keep the abrasive disc at an angle of about
15° to the workpiece surface.
Apply slight pressure only. Excessive pressure will result
in poor performance and premature wear to the abrasive
disc.
CAUTION:
Never run the tool without the abrasive disc. You may
seriously damage the pad.

Removing head cover (Fig. 8 & 9)
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before removing or installing the accessories.
Installing or changing accessories with the tool plugged
in could cause serious injury.
Remove the head cover by loosening the screw.
Pull off the head cover while pulling out its corners.
Installing wheel guard (Fig. 10)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the wheel guard.
When installing a depressed center wheel or an abrasive
cut-off wheel, always use a wheel guard. Mount the
wheel guard with the tab on the wheel guard band
aligned with the notch on the bearing box. Then rotate
the wheel guard 180 degrees counterclockwise. Be sure
to tighten the screw securely.
Installing side grip (auxiliary handle) (Fig. 11)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the side grip.
Always install the side grip on the tool securely before
operation. The side grip can be installed on either side of
the tool, whichever is convenient and keeps the guard
properly positioned. Always hold the tool's switch handle
and the side grip firmly with both hands during operation.
Shaft lock (Fig. 12)
Press the shaft lock to prevent spindle rotation when
installing or removing accessories.
CAUTION:
Never actuate the shaft lock when the spindle is moving.
The tool may be damaged.
Installing or removing depressed center wheel
(Fig. 13 & 14)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the wheel.
Mount the inner flange onto the spindle. Fit the wheel on
over the inner flange and screw the lock nut onto the
spindle.
To tighten the lock nut, press the shaft lock firmly so that
the spindle cannot revolve, then use the lock nut wrench
and securely tighten clockwise. To remove the wheel, fol-
low the installation procedure in reverse.
Operation (Fig. 15)
CAUTION:
After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until
the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting the
tool down.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on and
then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle
of about 15° – 30° to the workpiece surface. During the
break-in period with a new wheel, do not work the tool in
the B direction or it will cut into the workpiece. Once the
edge of the wheel has been rounded off by use, the
wheel may be worked in both A and B directions.
