Speed adjusting dial 2. Lock button 3. Switch trigger ASSEMBLY CAUTION: • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool. Switch action CAUTION: • Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released. To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it. Speed adjusting dial CAUTION: • If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds, 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 adjusting function may no longer work. The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 4,000 and 10,000 orbits per minute by turning the speed adjusting dial, which is marked 1 to 5. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the direction of number 5, lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1. Adjust the desired tool speed for the kind of work. CAUTION: • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool. 1 2 3 1 2 3 Clamp lever 2.
