8.1
Use only abrasives with an un-
damaged Stickfix hook-and-loop coating.
Before use, check that the coating has not
been damaged by improper use (such as
over heating).
Securing polish-
ing attachments
To prevent damage, use PoliStick polishing at-
tachments (sponges, felt, lambswool bonnets)
only with the special polishing pad fi tted on
the tool instead of a sanding pad. Like StickFix
abrasives, the PoliStick polishing attachments
are simply pressed onto the polishing pad and
pulled off after use.

Auxiliary handle

The auxiliary handle (Accessories, 8.1) can
be screwed onto either the right or left of the
gear head.

Working with the tool

Always secure the workpiece in
such a manner that it cannot move while be-
ing sanded.
Never overload the tool by using
too much pressure! The best sanding re-
sults are achieved when applying moderate
pressure. Sanding performance and quality
depend primarily on the choice of the right
abrasive.
For safe guidance, hold the tool with both
hands.
Application
Tables A and B show the settings we recom-
mend for different sanding and polishing
work.

Metalworking

Observe the following safety pre-
cautions when working on metals:
• Pre-connect a residual current circuit-break-
er (FI, PRCD).
• Connect the tool to a suitable dust extrac-
tor.
