OPERATION
WARNING:
• Before starting the tool and during operation,
keep your hand and face away from the applica-
tion tool.
CAUTION:
• Always hold the tool firmly with one hand on
housing. Do not touch the metal part.
• 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
(e.g. towards either side) of tool application with
no cutting edge. It may damage the tool.
► Fig.7
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.
• Remove sawdust by drawing tool adequately. It
increases work efficiency.
• Before cutting operation, it is recommended to
preset the orbital stroke rate 3 - 5.
• 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.8
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.
