Selecting the Sanding Sheet
Depending on the material to be worked and the required rate of material removal, different sanding sheets are available:
Operational area
– Coarse sanding down with high
material removal
– Removal of old paint
– Light sanding down
– Light sanding of surfaces for
continued processing
– Intermediate varnish sanding
– Light sanding of coating de-
fects
Replacing the Sanding Sheet
To remove the sanding sheet 4, lift it from the side and pull it
off of the sanding plate 3.
When attaching a new sanding sheet, remove any dust or de-
bris from the sanding plate 3, e. g., with a brush.
The surface of the sanding plate 3 is fitted with Velcro backing
for quick and easy fastening of sanding sheets with Velcro ad-
hesion.
Press the sanding sheet 4 firmly against the bottom side of
the sanding plate 3.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, pay attention that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet match with the holes in
the sanding plate.
Replacing the Sanding Plate (see figure B)
Note: Replace a damaged sanding plate 3 immediately.
Pull off the sanding sheet. Unscrew the four screws 9 com-
pletely and remove the sanding plate 3. Attach the new sand-

Dust/Chip Extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the mate-
rials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
