wrench (7) (fig.3). Do not tighten the backing pad if it is in
the wrong position.
ABRASIVE PAPER
Apply the new abrasive paper disk by pressing the same on the
backing pad, and making sure that the holes on the disc of paper
abrasive coincide with the suction holes of the circular plate (6).
START AND STOPPING
- Starting: push the lever of the switch (2) towards the body
of the tool; if the tool is to be locked in the ON position,
press button (2a) at the same time and keep it pressed while
releasing lever (2), thus locking the switch.
- Stopping: release the lever of the switch or, if locked in
position, push the lever to release the lock button.
The tool continues to rotate after it is turned off.
ELECTRONIC SELECTING RPM
The rpm can be adjusted by rotating the wheel (3). The choice
of speed depends on the characteristics of the abrasive disc
and the material to be worked.
ACCESSORIES DISASSEMBLY
BACKING PAD
- Unscrew backing pad (7) mounting screw using the allen
wrench (6).
ABRASIVE PAPER
- Used discs can be removed by simply tearing them off;
- new velcro discs are mounted by simply pressing them into the
pad, making sure that the holes cut in the paper disc coincide
with those in the pad.
DUST EXTRACTION
ATTENTION Hazardous dust can be produced during
sanding operations: Always connect an adequate
extraction device
In case of work producing dust, wear a mask
INTEGRATED EXTRACTION FIG. 4
- To guarantee optimal extraction of the powder empty the
conical filter (8) in time, accurately cleaning the filter holder
(8a) and regularly cleaning the cartridge (8b);
- During works on the vertical surfaces, position the machine
so the conical filter is turned downwards.
- Conical filter assembly: position the conical filter (8) on the
extractor tube coupling (4). Push the conical filter until it stops.
- Conical filter filling testing: the filling status of the conical filter
is easily controlled using the transparent filter holder (8.a).
- Conical filter cleaning: to empty the conical filter, remove
it from the extractor tube coupling working in the opposite
direction to assembly;
- Release the cartridge (8.b) and release it from the filter holder;
- Empty the filter holder;
- Clean the cartridge plates with a soft brush.
EXTERNAL EXTRACTION
- During vertical surface works position the machine in such a
way the extractor tube is turned downwards.
- Assembly: insert an extractor tube on the coupling for the
extractor tube (4);
- Connect the extractor tube to an adequate vacuum system
(not supplied).
NOISE EMISSION VALUES
Detected noise emission values comply with the following
directives:
EN 62841
ER303TE ER305TE
Sound pressure level L
pA
[dB(A)] 68
Sound power level L
wA
[dB(A)] 78
Uncertainty K
[dB(A)] 1,5
Use ear protection!
VIBRATION EMISSION VALUES
Detected vibration emission values comply with the standard
EN 62841
ER303TE ER305TE
Vibration level a
h
[m/s2] 3,54 3,18
Uncertainty K
[m/s2] 0,39 0,35
Displayed emission values are comparative and are to be
employed for a provisional assessment of the operator’s risk
exposure during the work period. Appropriate evaluation of
work period must also include tool’s idle and stop periods.
These emission values represent the tool’s main applications.
If the tool is used for other applications, with other accessories,
or if it does not undergo regular maintenance, emission values
can significantly increase during operations.
Danger! The refer to new power tools. Daily indicated,
usage causes the noise and vibration values to change.
MAINTENANCE
All maintenance operations are carried out with the power
supply disconnected.
At the end of each work session, or when required, remove
any dust from the body of the tool using a jet of compressed
air, paying particular attention to the motor ventilation slots (5).
No other maintenance operations must be undertaken by
the user.
Maintenance and cleaning of the inner parts, like brushes, ball
bearings, gears etc. or others, must be carried out only by an
authorized customer-service workshop.
