Problem
Extraction power is
insuffi cient.
Excessive material
removed from work-
piece
Surface quality not
perfect
Sanding grooves on
the surface
20
Possible causes
Filter element on
CTL/M 36 E AC P L A N E X blocked /
clogged.
Disposal bag inserted incorrectly.
Filter bag inserted instead of disposal
bag.
Suction power setting on
CTL/M 36 E AC P L A N E X too low.
Speed of P L A N E X too fast
Internal extraction on P L A N E X with
extraction control on setting 1
Repair compound with a high percent-
age of fi ller, soft fi ller
Suction hose blocked or kinked.
Disposal bag full
Speed of P L A N E X too fast
Suction power of the P L A N E X too
strong
Repair compound with a high percent-
age of fi ller, soft fi ller
Grit on abrasive too coarse
Incorrect abrasive grit
Drying times of the repair compound
not observed.
Suction power of P L A N E X too strong Reduce the suction power of the P L A N E X
Repair compound with a high percent-
age of fi ller, soft fi ller
Machine set down on the surface
while running (groove formation)
Hard sanding pad set down on the
surface at an angle.
Sanding pad is too hard or abrasive
grit too coarse for very soft repair
compound.
Remedy
Clean the fi lter element regularly:
Option 1: Set the suction power control to the
maximum setting. Cover the nozzle, suction
hose or intake opening on the extractor with
the surface of your hand for 10 seconds until
the automatic cleaning cycle starts.
Option 2: Clean the fi lter element mechani-
cally (extracting).
Option 3: Check the fi lter element for dam-
age and clogging. Insert a new fi lter element
regularly.
The holes punched in the disposal bag must
be inside the container.
Always work with the disposal bag when op-
erating the P L A N E X (grey bag).
Adjust the suction power to a higher setting.
Reduce speed.
Increase suction power or switch to external
extraction.
Switch on the external extractor connected
to the P L A N E X , set the extraction control
to setting 6, in extreme cases, turn down the
speed.
Remove blockage and straighten hose.
Dispose of the bag.
Reduce speed.
Reduce suction power or switch to external
extraction.
Switch on the external extractor connected
to the P L A N E X , set the extraction control
to setting 6, in extreme cases, turn down the
speed.
Select a fi ner grit.
Select a fi ner grit.
Read the technical data sheets and manufac-
turer recommendations.
Select a fi ner grit, e.g. P180.
Place the machine in position and then switch
on.
Always use detachable brush segments when
working on surfaces.
Use sanding pad IP with interface pad.
Use sanding pad IP with interface pad.
Select a fi ner abrasive grit (Brilliant 2 abra-
sive with grit up to P 320).
