Assembly
► Pull the plug out of the socket before
carrying out any work on the power
tool.
Dust/chip extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint,
some types of wood, minerals and metal can
be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger
allergic reactions and/or cause respiratory
illnesses in the user or in people in the near
vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust,
are classified as carcinogenic, especially in
conjunction with wood treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials con-
taining asbestos may only be machined by
specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suit-
able for the material wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class
breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being ma-
chined that apply in the country of use must
be observed.
► Avoid dust accumulation at the work-
place.
Dust can easily ignite.
Self-generated dust extraction with dust
box(see fi gures C-E)
Slide the dust box onto the extraction outlet.
Turn the dust box in such a manner that its re-
cesses face against the tips on the extraction
outlet and the dust box can be felt to engage.
You can easily check the filling level of the
dust box through the transparent container.
To empty the dust box, rotate slightly and pull
it back.
Unscrew the filter element and pull it out of
the dust box. Empty the dust box.
Gently tap the filter element against a solid
surface to loosen the dust. Use a soft brush to
clean the fl aps of the fi lter element.
Note: In order to ensure optimum dust ex-
traction, empty the dust box in good time and
clean the fi lter element regularly.
When working on vertical surfaces, hold the
power tool with the dust box facing down-
wards.
External dust extraction (see fi gure F)
Fit a dust extraction hose onto the extraction
outlet. Mount the vacuum hose onto the ex-
traction outlet (as shown in the fi gure) in such
a manner that the lateral openings on the
extraction outlet remain free. This prevents
the power tool from adhering to the workpiece
during sanding and the surface quality of the
workpiece from being impaired.
Connect the dust extraction hose to an ex-
tractor. You will fi nd an overview of connecting
to various dust extractors at the end of these
operating instructions.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the
material being worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially
detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a
special dust extractor.
When working on vertical surfaces, hold the
power tool with the dust extraction hose fac-
ing downwards.
Changing the sanding sheet
Remove dirt and dust from the sanding plate,
e.g. with a brush, before attaching a new
sanding sheet.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, make
sure that the punched holes in the sanding
sheet are aligned with the drilled holes in the
sanding plate.
Sanding sheets with hook-and-loop back-
ing(see fi gure B)
The sanding platform is equipped with a hook
and loop fastening system that allows you to
quickly and easily attach sanding sheets with
a similar backing.
Press down on the hook and loop of the sand-
ing platform attachment before installing the
sanding plate to ensure maximum pressure.
Apply abrasive to one side of the sanding
platform fl ush with the edge of the plate, then
apply all of the abrasive to the plate and press
fi rmly.
To remove abrasive material, grasp the tip
and pull it off the sanding plate.
Sanding sheets without hook-and-loop
backing(see fi gures A)
Press the clamping lever down.
Slide the sanding sheet all the way under
the open rear clamping bar and release the
clamping lever.
