Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
fl ammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
of fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool.
3
Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off .
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing

PRACTICAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
CAUTION
Never apply water or grinding fl uid when sanding. This
could result in electrical shock.
1. Switching the sander ON and OFF
By pulling the trigger and pushing the stopper, the
switch will remain ON even when the trigger is released,
promoting continuous, effi cient operation. By pulling the
trigger again, the stopper is released and the switch is
turned OFF.
CAUTION
Never turn the power switch ON when the sander is
contacting the surface to be sanded. This is necessary
to preclude damage to the material. The same applies
when switching the power OFF.
2. How to hold the orbital sander
While gripping the knob with one hand and the handle
with the other, lightly press the sander against the
surface to be sanded so that the sanding paper uniformly
contacts the surface, as shown in Fig. 6. DO NOT
apply excessive pressure to the sander while sanding.
Excessive-pressure may cause overload of the motor,
reduced service life of the sanding paper, and lowered
sanding or polishing effi ciency.
3. How to move the orbital sander
For optimum operating effi ciency, alternately move the
sander forward and backward at a constant speed and
balance.
4. Changing the rotating Speed (model SV12V only)
SV12V has an electronic control system which can be
used to set the rotating speed between 4000 and 10000
revolutions per minute.
As shown in Fig. 7, dial position “1” is for minimum speed
and position “5” for maximum speed.
MOUNTING THE OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
1. Mounting the magic pad.
Loosen the six screws.
Remove the pad and attach the magic pad.
CAUTION
Replace the pad only. Use the other parts without
removing them.
2. Mounting the cleaner adapter (for models SV12V
and SV12SD) (Fig. 8)
After mounting the dust collector hose onto the cleaner
adapter, mount the cleaner adapter onto the unit in the
same way as mounting the dust bag.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Empting and cleaning the Dust Bag (for models
SV12V and SV12SD)
If the dust bag contains too much saw dust, dust
collection will be aff ected. Empty the dust bag when it
gets full.
Remove the dust bag, open the fastener, and dispose of
the contents.
2. Inspecting the sanding paper
Since use of worn-out sanding paper will degrade
effi ciency and cause possible damage to the pad, replace
the sanding paper as soon as excessive abrasion is
noted.
3. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
result in serious hazard.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 10)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brushes with new ones having the same carbon brush
No. shown in the fi gure when it becomes worn to or near
the “wear limit”. In addition, always keep carbon brushes
clean and ensure that they slide freely within the brush
holders.
5. Replacing carbon brushes
○ Disassembling
(1) Loosen the two screws on the top cover, and remove the
top cover. (Fig. 11)
(2) Lift out the brush holder together with the carbon brush,
while being very careful not to forcibly pull the internal
wires within the brush holder.
(3) Remove the carbon brush from the brush holder.
○ Reassembling
(1) Insert the brush terminal into the brush holder. Turn the
brush terminal 90˚.
(2) While maintaining this brush terminal position as
explained in (1), insert the new carbon brush into the
brush holder.
(3) While pressing the carbon brush against the outside wall
of the housing's bearing compartment, insert the brush
holder into the housing's original position.
(4) Place the internal wire in the specifi ed position. Be
very careful not to allow the internal wire to contact the
armature or rotating parts of the motor. (Fig.12)
(5) Replace the top cover, while being careful to ensure it
does not pinch the internal wire, and secure it fi rmly with
the two screws.
CAUTION
Should the internal wire be pinched by the top cover
or come in contact with the armature or rotating parts
of the motor, a serious danger of electric shock to the
operator will be created. Exercise extreme caution in
disassembling and reassembling the motor, following the
above procedure exactly.
DO NOT attempt to disassemble any parts other than
those necessary to eff ect replacement of the carbon
brush.
6. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power
tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
