Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 5)
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, orbits per minute and the pad
rotating speed.
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 adjust-
ing function may no longer work.
Selecting action mode (Fig. 6 & 7)
Use the change knob to change the rotation mode. Roto-orbit mode is orbital action plus rotation action of pad for
rough sanding and polishing. Random orbit mode is orbital action of pad for fine sanding. Rotate the change knob
counterclockwise for roto-orbit mode and clockwise for random orbit mode.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate the change lever when the tool is running under load. The tool will be damaged.
