CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a
long time, the motor will get overloaded, resulting in
tool malfunction.
• 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.
• Electronic constant speed control
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed
is kept constant even under the loaded condition.
• Soft start feature
Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
