8. CHANGING THE PLATE
Unplug the machine from the electrical
outlet before performing any mainte-
nance operations.
Remove the plate protector (L Fig. 2)
before changing the plate (A)
Remove the sanding disc from the sanding plate (A) (Fig.
29 and remove screw "E" using the ALLEN key e/c: 6 mm
supplied with the machine. To attach a new plate, carry
out the same operation in reverse.
9. CONNECTING THE MACHINE
TO AN EXTERNAL DUST COLLECTOR
To connect the machine to dust collectors AS182K,
AS282K or another external suction source, the dust
collector attachment ref. 6446073 (optional accessory)
must be attached. To do this, remove collection bag "C",
and fit nozzle "G" of the dust collector attachment in
its place (Fig. 3).
The chosen external suction source may then be hooked
up to the other end of the suction connection.
10. MAINTENANCE OF BRUSHES AND COLLECTOR
Unplug the machine from the electrical
outlet before performing any mainte-
nance operations.
Brushes should be changed when they have a minimum
length of 10 mm.
Changing Brushes
Remove screws "H" (Fig. 4) that fasten the side covers
"I" and detach both. Remove the brush-holder "J" with
small screwdriver "K", using one of the brush-holder
side tabs to lever it out.
Push back the end of spring "M". Keep it in this position
to extract the brush and replace it with a new genuine
VIRUTEX brush.
Reinsert the brush-holder, ensuring that it is firmly
positioned in the casing and that each of the brushes
exerts a small amount of pressure on the collector.
Re-attach the covers "I" with the corresponding screws,
making sure that no wires get caught in the process.
It is advisable to allow the machine to run for 15 mi-
nutes in order to ensure that the brushes have properly
settled into place.
If the collector shows signs of burns or
protuberances, it should be repaired by
VIRUTEX Technical Service. Never use
emery paper for this operation. Keep the
lead and plug in good working condition.
11. LUBRICATION AND CLEANING
The machine comes fully lubricated from the factory
and does not require special care during its working life.
Always clean the machine carefully after use with a
dry air blower.
Keep the power cable in perfect condition.
Keep the machine’s vent and cooling openings clean
and unobstructed.
12. NOISE AND VIBRATION LEVELS
The noise and vibration levels of this device have been
measured in accordance with European standard EN
60745-2-4 and EN 60745-1 and serve as a basis for com-
parison with other machines with similar applications.
The indicated vibration level has been determined for
the device’s main applications and may be used as an
initial value for evaluating the risk presented by expo-
sure to vibrations. However, vibrations may reach levels
that are quite different from the declared value under
other application conditions, with other tools or with
insufficient maintenance of the electrical device or its
accessories, reaching a much higher value as a result
of the work cycle or the manner in which the electrical
device is used.
Therefore, it is necessary to establish safety measures
to protect the user from the effects of vibrations, such
as maintaining both the device and its tools in perfect
condition and organising the duration of work cycles
(such as operating times when the machine is subjected
to loads, and operating times when working with no-load,
in effect, not in use, as reducing the latter may have a
considerable effect upon the overall exposure value).
13. WARRANTY
All VIRUTEX portable electrical tools are guaranteed for 12
months from the date of supply, excluding any damage
resulting from incorrect use or natural wear and tear
on the machine. All repairs should be carried out by the
official VIRUTEX technical assistance service.
14. RECYCLING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
Never dispose of electrical equipment with domestic was-
te. Recycle equipment, accessories and packaging in ways
that minimise any adverse effect on the environment.
Comply with the current regulations in your country.
