Intended use

The tool is intended for the sanding of large surface of wood, plastic and metal materials as well as painted surfaces.

Power supply

The tool should be connected only to a power supply of the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without earth wire.

Noise

The typical A-weighted noise level determined according to EN62841-2-4:

Sound pressure level (L_pA):85dB (A)

Sound power level (L_WA):93dB (A)

Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)

NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.

NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: Wear ear protection.

WARNING: The noise emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.

WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

Vibration

The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined according to EN62841-2-4:

Work mode: sanding metal plate

Vibration emission (a_h):5.0m / s^2

Uncertainty (K): 1.5m / s^2

Work mode: polishing

Vibration emission (a_h,F) : 3.0~m / s^2

Uncertainty (K): 1.5m / s^2

Speed adjusting dial

Fig.3: 1. 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 direction 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.

Number Orbits	per min. Pad rotating	speed per minute in random orbit with forced rota- tion mode
1 1,600 140
2 2,900 260
3 4,200 370
4 5,500 490
5 6,800 600

NOTICE: If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a long time, the motor will get overloaded, resulting in tool malfunction.

NOTICE: 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.

Electronic function

The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to operate because of the following features.

Constant speed control

Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is kept constant even under the loaded condition.

Soft start feature

Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.

Selecting the action mode

Use the change knob to change the rotation mode.

NOTICE: Always turn the knob fully. If the knob is in the middle position, you can not turn on the tool.

NOTE: You can not change the action mode when the tool is switched on.

Random orbit with forced rotation mode

Fig.4: 1. Change knob

Random orbit with forced rotation mode is orbital action with forced rotation of the pad for rough sanding and polishing.

Rotate the change knob counterclockwise for random orbit with forced rotation mode.

Random orbit mode

Fig.5: 1. Change knob

Random orbit mode is orbital action with free rotation of the pad for fine sanding.
