WARNING
Risk of injury
► Remove the battery pack from the power
tool before performing any work on the
power tool.
8.1 Electronics
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
function ensures that the power tool starts up
smoothly.
Temperature cut-out
To avoid the motor overheating, the power con­
sumption is limited at an excessive motor tem­
perature. If the temperature continues to rise,
the power tool switches off and can only be
switched on again once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control. This means that, if
the machine is used as intended (reasonable
contact pressure), a constant sanding speed is
achieved.
Setting and adjusting the speed
The speed can be set [1-6] between 6000 and
10000 min -1 using the adjusting wheel.
For sanding, we recommend the following set­
tings for the adjusting wheel [1-6] :

8.2 Replacing the sanding pad [4a]
An optimal work result can only be ach­
ieved using original accessories and con­
sumables. The use of non-original accessories
or consumables invalidates the right to claim
under warranty.
Warning! Do not perform any structural
changes in the open interior space of the
machine when the sanding pad is dismantled.
Undo the four screws.
Remove the sanding pad by pulling it down­
wards.
Attach the new sanding pad.
Use four screws to tighten it by hand
(2.5 Nm).
