Operating Instructions
▶ Slide On/Off Switch
H o l d t h e t o o l w i t h
b o t h h a n d s w h i l e
starting the tool, since torque from the
motor can cause the tool to twist.
The tool is switched “ON” by sliding the
switch button located at the side of the
motor housing (Fig. 1).
To turn the tool “OFF”, slide the switch
button backward (Fig. 1).
S t a r t t h e t o o l b e f o r e a p p l y i n g t o
workpiece and let the tool come to full
speed before contacting the workpiece.
Lift the tool from the workpiece before
turning the tool “OFF”. DO NOT turn the
switch “ON” and “OFF” while the tool is
under load; this will greatly decrease
the switch life.
▶ Mode Selector Switch

recommended for less durable surfaces
as well as for fine polishing.
The orbit of the pad is driven by the
motor, while the rotation of the pad is
caused by a combination of forces,
including the free-wheeling nature of the
pad and the friction of the pad on the
workpiece surface.
Assembly
Connect the vacuum hose to a vacuum
cleaner.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable
for the material being worked on.
W h e n v a c u u m i n g d r y d u s t t h a t i s
