ROTEX
GB
Temperature cut-out
The machine power supply is limited and the
speed reduced if the motor exceeds a certain
temperature. The machine continues operat-
ing at reduced power to allow the ventilator
to cool the motor quickly. If the machine
temperature exceeds the maximum permit-
ted value for longer periods, the machine
switches off completely after approx. 40 sec-
onds and can only be switched on again once
the motor has cooled sufficiently.
7.2 Setting sanding motion [3]
The change-over switch [1-2] can be used
to set three different sanding motions.
This change-over can only be carried out
with the sanding pad stationary because
the switch is locked during operation.
Coarse sanding, polishing - ROTEX rota-
ry motion
The Rotex rotary motion is a combi-
nation of rotary and eccentric mo-
tions. This position is selected for
sanding with high output (coarse
sanding) and polishing.
Fine sanding - eccentric motion
This position is selected for sanding
with low output for a scratch-free
surface (fine sanding).
Triangular sanding and pad change [4]
This position is used for sanding
with the delta sanding pad and slat
sanding pad; the rotary motion is
blocked.
You can change the sanding pad in
this position.
The stop rod [1-8] blocks the in-
stallation of the sanding pad in the
change-over switch positions ROTEX rota-
ry motion and eccentric motion.
7.3

Changing sanding/polishing pad

[5]
Only use sanding and polishing pads that
are suitable for the maximum speed spec-
ified.
Tuned to the surface being processed, the
machine can be equipped with two sanding
pads of different hardnesses.
Hard: Coarse and fine sanding on surfaces.
Sanding edges.
14
Soft: Universal for coarse and fine sanding,
for flat and convex surfaces.
When the interface pad [1-12] is fitted on
the sanding pad, strength is reduced = extra
soft.
Following the sanding pad change, switch
the change-over switch [1-2] to the de-
sired sanding motion.
7.4 Changing sanding pad [6]
The delta sanding pad DSS-GE-STF-RO90
can be used for sanding close to borders, in
corners or on edges. The slat sanding pad
LSS-STF-RO90 can be used for sanding in
narrow gaps, e.g. louvres.
Observe the following instructions:
Work in corners and on edges tends to sub-
ject the tip to increased stress and results in
increased heat development. In such cases,
work with reduced contact pressure.

[7]
If the front tip of the StickFix pad [7-1] of
your delta sanding pad is worn, take it off
and turn it 120°.
Slat sanding pad LSS-STF-RO90 [8]
If the StickFix coating of the slat sanding pad
is worn, the complete table can be replaced.
Open the screws to do this [8-1].
7.5 Attaching sanding accessories
The suitable StickFix sandpaper and StickFix
sanding cloth can be attached quickly and
simply to the StickFix sanding pad.
Press the self-adhesive sanding accessory
onto the sanding pad [1-7].
7.6 Attaching polishing accessories
To prevent damage, PoliStick accessories
(polishing sponges, polishing felt, sheepskin)
must only be used on the special polishing
pad.
Press the self-adhesive polishing accesso-
ry onto the sanding pad [1-9].
