manufacturer's internal service personnel, or other
qualified personnel, replacing any necessary parts with
original parts sourced directly from the manufacturer.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Dust collector
1. Fit the dust collector (6) by pushing it all the way in;
2. The dust is extracted directly into the dust collector
through the sanding base plate (8).
3. Pull the dust collector to remove it once again;
For safety reasons, it is essential to use the dust
collector or a dust extraction system.
Connection to a vacuum cleaner/ dust extraction unit
To connect the sander to a vacuum cleaner, you need to
remove the dust collector and place the vacuum
adaptor in its place. Then simply attach the vacuum
cleaner hose to the adaptor.
Installing and changing the sanding belts
Use only sanding belts with the corresponding
dimensions.
Select a sanding belt that suits the material you are
going to work on.
▪ Pull the tension lever (7) to relieve the tension on the
sanding belt. Pull the lever all the way;
▪ Remove the old sanding belt;
▪ Install the new sanding belt. Pay attention to the
arrows which indicate the direction of rotation of the
sanding belt and base plate. The arrows must point in
the same direction;
▪ Set the tension lever to the original position;
After replacing the sanding belt, you have to adjust its
position.
▪ Plug the power cord into a socket and hold the sander
by the two handles (3, 4);
▪ Press the "ON/OFF" switch (11) to switch on the
sander;
