How do I start and stop the tool?

To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the “I (ON)” position. To stop the tool, slide the slide switch toward the “O (OFF)” position.

---

Is the orbital stroke rate adjustable? How do I adjust it?

Yes, the orbital stroke rate is adjustable. To change the orbital stroke rate, turn the dial between 1 and 5. The higher the number is, the higher the orbital stroke rate is. Preset the dial to the number suitable for your workpiece.

---

What is the proper way to turn the dial to adjust the orbital stroke rate?

The dial cannot be turned directly from 1 to 5 or from 5 to 1. Forcing the dial may damage the tool. When changing the dial direction, always turn the dial moving it through each intermediate number.

How do I install or remove an application tool?

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
• Do not install the application tool upside down.
• Install the attachment tool in the correct direction according to your work.
