STARTING UP

Before starting-up the tool ensure that:
- the packaging is complete and does not show signs of having

been damaged during storage or transport;

- the tool is complete; check that the number and type of

components comply with that reported in this instruction
booklet;

- the power supply and socket outlet can support the load

reported in the table and that indicated on the tool identification
plate reproduced and explained on page 11.

ASSEMBLING THE TOOL

- Position the heat protection (6) on the gearbox such that the

holes for mounting the handle are aligned with those on the
gearbox;

- screw in the auxiliary handle (5); the handle can be mounted on

the left or right of the tool body;

- if the tool is to be used without  the side handle, the heat shield

must be fixed in place using the screws provided (9).

MOUNTING THE BUFFER PAD

- Insert the buffer pad (8) on the spindle (4);
- screw on the tapered ring nut (7) and tighten it using the pin

spanner, preventing the spindle from moving using the 17 mm
spanner.

BEFORE STARTING THE TOOL

Ensure that:
- the power supply conforms with the characteristics of the tool;
- the power supply cable and plug are in perfect condition;
- the ON/OFF switch works properly though with the power

supply disconnected;

- all the parts of the tool have been assembled in the proper

manner and that there are no signs of damage;

- the ventilation slots are not obstructed.

STARTING AND STOPPING

- Starting: push the lever of the switch (2) fowards the body of the

tool; if the tool is to be locked in the ON position, press button
(13) at the same time and keep it pressed while releasing lever
(2), thus locking the switch.

- Stopping: release the lever of the switch or, if locked in position,

push the lever to release the lock button.

TEST RUN

Start the tool and check that there are no unusual vibration, or no
dismatching of the buffer pad.

Otherwise switch-off the tool immediately and eliminate the
fault.

ELECTRONIC RPM REGULATION

The rpm can be adjusted by rotating the wheel (3) located on the
top of the tool. The choice of speed depends on the characteri-
stics of the  buffers and the material to be worked.
