Switch action
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
slide switch actuates properly and returns to the “OFF”
position when the rear of the slide switch is depressed.
• Switch can be locked in “ON” position for ease of
operator comfort during extended use. Apply caution
when locking tool in “ON” position and maintain firm
grasp on tool.
To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the “I (ON)”
position. For continuous operation, press the front of the
slide switch to lock it.
To stop the tool, press the rear of the slide switch, then slide
it toward the “O (OFF)” position.
Speed adjusting dial
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 direc-
tion of number 5. And lower speed is obtained when it is
turned in the direction of number 1.
Refer to the table for the relationship between the number
settings on the dial and the approximate rotating speed.
CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a
long time, the motor will get overloaded, resulting in tool
malfunction.
