shaft by releasing the button and manually rotating the abrasive disc
holder sanding pad to control its unlocking.

WARNING!: never press the wheel spindle locking button until
the tool has stopped moving and is perfectly stationary; the gear
box or the push button pin could be broken and the guarantee

the abrasive disc holder sanding pad and the gear box to lock the
wheel holder shaft (5). Proceed as in the 1st mode: “Unscrew the ring
nut [...]”

tightening purposes.

: Before use, check the state of the wheel. The wheels

must be properly assembly and must rotate freely rotate freely.
Never use defective or damaged wheels/cutters. Defective
wheels can fall to pieces and cause dangerous incidents.

the ON position, apply pressure to the front part of the slide switch at the same
time.

- Stopping: release the slide ON/OFF (2).

the rear of the tool. The choice of speed depends on the characteristics of the
abrasive paper disc and the material to be worked.
