Choice and installa-

at edges.
Soft: Universal use for coarse and fi ne sand-
ing for fl at and curved surfaces.
Super-soft: Fine sanding on formed parts,
curves, radii. Do not use on edges!
Installation
The FastFix system enables tool-free replace-
ment of the sanding pad (7.4):
- Set the switch (7.1) to the right, to the Rotex
rotary motion
- Press spindle stop (7.2),
- Turn the
fi tted sanding pad from the spindle
(right-handed thread)
- Keep the spindle stop pressed and screw
on the new sanding pad (in doing so, make
sure that the rubber collar (7.3) is correctly
fi tted!).
- Let go of the spindle stop.
Actuate the spindle stop only when
the drive spindle is stationary. Do not switch
on the motor when the spindle stop is pressed
in.
Attaching the abrasive
Stick fi x is a hook-and-loop fastening
system. Stick fi x sanding pads allow
the use of self-adhesive hook-and-loop
abrasives such as Stick fi x sandpapers
and sanding cloths.
Simply press the abrasive onto the sanding
