With the triangular sanding plate, the sander
is perfect for sanding corners and edges
that are difcult to reach. If necessary, use
the tip or an edge of the sander plate to
sand proled sections.
By changing the turntable sanding head, the
handle position can be adjusted horizontally
or vertically.
SELECTING THE SANDING PAD
• Always use abrasive pads suited to the
material you want to sand. The pads
must have the correct grain size.
• Depending on grain size there are
degrees of coarseness. The coarseness
is specied by a number on the back of
the pads. (A small number means very
coarse pad. The higher the number is,
the ner the grain.)
• It is important to use the right pad for
each job. For rough sanding use grain
sizes up to 80, for soft wood as larch,
pine or spruce use pads from 120 to 150.
For dense hardwood as beech or maple,
the grain sizes up to 220 can be used.
• Attach the desired sanding pad (5) on the
sanding plate (6). Make sure the
openings of the sanding pad t with the
suction holes (10) on the sanding plate.
Firmly press the sanding pad down on
the sanding plate.
With the provided hook and loop system
the sanding pad can be quickly removed.
Pull off the sanding pad. Place the new
sanding pad and make sure the openings
of the plate and the sanding pad match
together.
MOUNTING THE DUST COLLECTION HOSE
Always use the dust collection hose,
particularly when sanding painted
surfaces.
Attach the dust collection hose (9) to the dust
extraction ange (7) and connect a vacuum
cleaner to the hose.
ON/OFF SWITCH
1. Connect the sander to the power socket.
2. To turn on the machine push the ON/OFF
switch (2) forward, using your thumb. To
turn off the machine, pull the ON/OFF
switch back.
3. Hold the machine rmly with your hand
when using and whenever possible,
move the machine in a steady motion
parallel to the surface. By doing so, you
will avoid grooves or hollows on the
surface.
SANDING
• Apply only moderate pressure on the
machine. Too much pressure will lead to
jamming of the mechanism and will spoil
the result. Excessive pressure will
overheat the machine.
• Always select abrasive pad with
coarseness suited the condition of the
surface.
• Use ner pads in the consecutive sanding
until the desired smoothness is reached.
If you desire a very smooth nish you
may slightly moisten the surface before
the last sanding. This will slightly swell the
bres and allow a smoother nish.
SPEED REGULATOR
Electronic variable speed
• The required rotation speed for sanding
depends on the material being processed.
It is best selected by a practical test.
Always use a speed which is high enough
to prevent the machine from stopping due
to overload. The speed can be adjusted
with the speed regulator (3).
• For working with min. speed, turn the
regulator in direction 1. This setting
corresponds to a speed of 6,000
revolutions per minute.
