BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Rotorbital sanders have circular bases that make small,
very fast circular movements. The result is very smooth,
scratch-free. Most tools have a perforated base through
which dust is vaccumed, when using perforated abrasive
sandpaper. They are used to obtain a fine finish.
WARNING! Any use differing from the above is strictly
forbidden.
Use only for the following types of work:
1. Finishing of wooden surfaces, synthetic material,
metal and painted surfaces.
2. Removing rust and finishing steel surfaces.
BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
Before using the tool, make sure the mains voltage is
correct: it must be the same as that on the specification
label. Machines with 230V can also be connected to a
220-V mains supply.
FITTING SAFETY DEVICES
WARNING! Always unplug the machine before carrying
out work on it.
Use of the auxiliary handle is obligatory in order to ensure
greater control and safety when handling the tool.
FITTING THE ACCESSORIES
WARNING! For safety reasons, you should always
disconnect the apparatus from the power source
before proceeding to change the plate. Always wear
safety goggles.
Immediately substitute a damaged plate.
WARNING! Never press the blocking button when the
machine is running. The shaft must have stopped com-
pletely before the blocking button is pressed.
For changing the Velcro plate, proceed in the following
manner:
1. Block the spindle (shaft) by pressing blocking button
C and with one hand unscrew the plate.
In order to mount the plate, proceed in reverse order.
2. Once the disc is fitted, check that the blocking button
has returned to its original position due to movement
of the incorporated spring.
MOUNTING OF SANDPAPER SHEETS
WARNING: Whenever you work on the machine, always
unplug it first.
First select the right grain of sandpaper for the surface to
be sanded.
These sanders incorporate a sandpaper with Velcro
attachment system that is attached directly to the
plate. In order to assure an optimal dust aspiration, the
holes of the sanding sheet should coincide with the
holes of the plate.
STARTING THE TOOL
WARNING! Check that the mains voltage is the same as
that in the machine's specifications.
Plug the machine in with the switch off.
Start the machine by turning the switch A to position
"ON". To switch off, do the same in reverse.
Constant electronic performance and speed adjustment
The built-in module enables soft start and for the rated
speed to be maintained practically constant until the
rated power is reached.
The electronic speed regulator enables the speed to
be set to different positions from 1 to 6. The most
appropriate speed should be selected according to the
part to be polished.
PRECAUTION: The speed regulator can only be turned
to position 6 and then be returned to position 1. It must
never be forced beyond 6 or 1, since this could cause
damage to the machine.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use the sander without the abrasive disk.
Move the sander over the entire surface to be sanded.
Its weight is pressure enough. Extra pressure merely
slows the sanding action and produces an irregular
finish, in addition to wearing out the sander and sandpa-
per. Do not leave the machine in operation by itself since
it will over-sand the surface.
Always switch the sander on before placing on the
surface to be sanded. Never switch off the sander when
positioned on the surface: first lift off and then switch off.
Do not use the sander without sandpaper since this
would damage the supporting pad. Keep hands away
from the air holes and ensure that neither oil nor water
can penetrate into the motor.
Attention: do not let the spinning disk touch sharp
protrusions, screws, nails, etc., because they could
cause damage.
Use sandpaper discs which are suitable for the surface
to be worked and the required results.
PRECAUTION: During polisher operation, the electri-
cal cable should always be kept behind to prevent it
being trapped.
DUST EXTRACTION
WARNING! Always make sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before fitting or removing any dust
extraction device.
Dust extraction keeps the workplace clean, prevents
dust build-up in the air and facilitates waste elimination.
These sanders are provided with a dust aspiration
output which adapts to a universal vacuum or any other
dust aspiration device.
CAUTION: Always use an aspiration extractor designed
according to the guidelines applicable to dust emission.
