Lighting up the front lamp (Fig. 6)

WARNING:

• Never look into the light directly. Direct light causes

damage to your eyes.

Slide the slide switch toward the “I (ON)” position to light

up the front lamp. The lamp keeps on lighting while the

switch is the “I (ON)” position. The light automatically

goes out after pressing the rear of the slide switch, and

then sliding the slide switch toward the “O (OFF)” posi-

tion.

Overload protection

When the tool is overloaded and the tool temperature

reaches a certain level, the front lamp blinks and the tool

automatically stops. Remove a cause of overload to

restart.

Indication lamp (Fig. 7)

• When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the indi-

cation lamp blinks.

• When the remaining battery capacity gets much lower,

the tool stops during operation and the indication lamp

lights up about 10 seconds.

At this time, remove the battery cartridge from the tool

and charge it.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-

tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work

on the tool.

Installing or removing application tool (optional

accessory) (Fig. 8, 9 & 10)

WARNING:

• Do not install application tool upside down. Installing

application tool upside down may damage the tool and

cause serious personal injury.

• Install attachment tool in the correct direction according

to your work. Application tool can be installed at an

angle of every 30 degree.

Put an application tool (optional accessory) on the tool

flange so that the protrusions of the tool flange fit in the

holes in the application tool and secure the application

tool by tightening the bolt firmly with the hex wrench.

When using sanding application tool, mount the applica-

tion tool on the sanding pad so that it matches the sand-

ing pad direction.

The sanding pad has a hook and loop type fitting system

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).

Hex wrench storage (Fig. 11)

When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the

figure to keep it from being lost.

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 (Fig. 12)

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.

NOTE:

• Forcing or excessive pressure on the tool may reduce

efficiency.

• Before cutting operation, it is recommended to preset

the orbital stroke rate 4 – 6.

Sanding (Fig. 13)

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.

Apply a sanding paper on the workpiece.

NOTE:

• Using a test material sample to try is recommendable

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 sand-

ing paper with different grit sanding paper may not get

a fine finish.

Dust extraction attachment (optional accessory)

(Fig. 14 & 15)

• Install dust nozzles and dust attachment.

• Install the nozzle band on the tool so that its protru-

sions fit in the holes in the tool to secure it.

• Put the felt ring and the sanding pad on the dust attach-

ment and then secure them with the application tool

installation bolt.

When you wish to perform cleaner operation, connect a

vacuum cleaner to your tool. Connect a hose of vacuum

cleaner to the dust extraction attachment (optional

accessory).

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-

tery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform

inspection or maintenance.

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other

maintenance or adjustment should be performed by

Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita

replacement parts.
