- Do not work on damp or wet items or with wet
abrasive supports.
- Initially use an abrasive support with a coarse
grain (e.g. 40), then finish processed surfaces
with a finer grain abrasive support (e.g. 120
or higher).
- Make sure the abrasive support is correctly
assembled and perfectly flat against the orbital
plate.
- Always use the sander connected to a vacu-
um system with a filter for dust or to the bag
provided.
- Only start the sander once you have a firm
grip on the handle(s). Rest it on the item and
operate it with circular movements exerting
light pressure. Do not insist on sanding one
point keeping the machine still.
- Excessive pressure with the hand(s) on the
sander does not improve its performance and
causes a risk of the motor overheating with
subsequent breakdowns not covered by the
warranty, or can cause fire due to the high
temperatures produced on the item.
- Do not cover the sander’s ventilation slots with
your hand(s).
- Replace the abrasive support as soon as it
is worn or deteriorated; do not let the sander
work under excessive loads, avoid damaging
the backing plate and you will obtain a better
result with less effort and time.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT! Before any inspection,
adjustment or maintenance, always di-
sconnect the tool from the power supply by
unplugging it.
IMPORTANT! Do not tamper or attempt to
repair the electrical tool.
The working life and costs also depend on con-
stant and meticulous maintenance.
Take good care of your electrical tool and clean it
regularly. In this way its efficiency will be ensured
and its lifespan extended.
- Remove dust and machining residuals with a
brush with soft bristles.
- Do not wet or spray water over the electrical
tool - risk of internal infiltrations.
- Do not use any inflammables, detergents or
solvents.
- The plastic parts can easily be damaged by
chemical agents.
- Do not use compressed air for cleaning: Risk
of material ejection!
- Pay particular attention to cleaning the switch,
the motor ventilation slots, the holes on the
backing plate and the abrasive support driving
rollers.
- Open the dust box cover (fig. C) to empty the
contents. Clean the inside with a small brush
and reassemble.
- Remove any traces of wood resin.
ABRASIVE SUPPORT REPLACEMENT (fig.D)
- Velcro type: Turn the machine over, rip the
abrasive support off the backing plate, clean,
attach the new abrasive support, check that the
sheet is taut and that the holes correspond to
the holes on the backing plate.
- Sheet type: Turn the machine over, open the
tensioning device, extract the sheet, clean, put
on the new sheet, close the tensioning device,
check that the sheet is taut and that the holes
correspond to the holes on the backing plate
- Belt type: Turn the machine over, open the
tensioning lever, extract the belt, clean, insert
the new belt taking care to respect the rotation
direction, checking the arrow printed on the
machine against that on the belt, close the
tensioning lever, check that the belt is taut and,
if necessary, adjust the centring using the knob.
- For all: At the end, carry out a trial run.
