pads
Mounting of sanding sheet 8
•
- mount VELCRO sanding sheet C as illustrated
- if necessary, clean backing pad first
! perforation in sanding sheet should correspond
with perforation in sanding foot
! the dust suction requires the use of perforated
sanding sheets
! replace worn sanding sheets in time
• Dust suction
! do not use dust box/vacuum cleaner when
sanding metal
Dust box 9
- empty dust box D regularly for optimal dust pick-up

adapter E
• On/off switch
- switch on/off the tool by pushing switch F 2 in/out
! before the sanding surface reaches the workpiece, you should switch on the tool
! be aware of the sudden impact when the tool is
switched on
! before switching off the tool, you should lift it from
the workpiece
• Speed control w
For optimal sanding results on different materials
- with wheel G 2 you can set the desired sanding speed
- adjust speed to grit size used
- before starting a job, find the optimal speed and grit by
testing out on spare material
• Holding and guiding the tool r
! while working, always hold the tool at the grey-
coloured grip area(s)
- guide the tool parallel to the working surface
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the
sanding surface do the work for you
- do not tilt the tool in order to avoid unwanted sanding
marks
- keep ventilation slots H 2 uncovered
• Sanding
- the amount of material removed is determined by the
selection of the sanding sheet, the preselected sanding
speed and the applied pressure
! intensifiying the sanding pressure does not lead
to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to
increased wear of the tool and the sanding sheet
! never use the same sanding sheet for wood and
metal
APPLICATION ADVICE
• For determining the optimal grit (and speed), table e can
be used as reference
! always test out first on a piece of scrap material
