OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
Intended Use
The machine is intended for dry sanding of wood, plastic,
metal and filler material as well as painted surfaces.
Machines with electronic control are also suitable for polishing.
1. FITTING THE SANDING PAPER (SEE FIG
A, B)
FIT THE SANDING PAPER
This sander features an easy hook and loop accessory
fastening system for quick changing without clamps.
The sanding papers are placed directly onto the base plate.
The hole pattern in the base plate and sanding paper must
match. Then press the sanding paper onto the base plate
by hand. Firmly press the power tool with the sanding paper
against a flat surface and briefly switch the power tool on.
This provides for good adhesion and prevents premature
wear
Before placing on the sanding paper, free the
base plate from dust/debris by lightly tapping
against it.
REMOVE THE SANDING PAPER
Simply remove the sanding paper directly.
2. INSTALLING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE
(SEE FIG. C)
For your personal safety we recommend using the auxiliary
handle at all times.
To adjust the handle, release the auxiliary handle locking
knob and rotate the handle , the tool has preset some
locked positions, choose the most comfortable and
balanced one. Then press the auxiliary handle locking knob.
3. DUST COLLECTION/EXTRACTION (SEE
FIG. D1,D2,D3,D4,D5,D6)
– Dust produced while working can be detrimental to
health, inflammable or explosive. Suitable protection
measures are required. Examples: Some dusts are
considered to be carcinogenic. Use suitable dust/chip
extraction and wear a dust protection mask.
– Light metal dust can burn or explode. Always keep the
work place clean since material mixtures are especially
dangerous.
CAUTION: Fire hazard! For unfavorable conditions
such as flying sparks when sanding metals, sanding dust
in the dust bag, micro filter or paper sack (or in the filter
sack or filter of the wet/dry vacuum cleaner) can self-
ignite, especially when mixed with remainders of varnish,
polyurethane or other chemical materials and when the
sanded work piece is hot after long periods of working.
Avoid overheating the object being sanded as well as the
machine and always empty the dust container before
pauses in the work.
A) Internal vacuuming with dust bag
Attaching The Dust Bag
Push the dust bag into the adapter.(SEE FIG. D1),and rotate
the dust bag clockwise.(SEE FIG. D2). Place the dust bag
with adapter on the outlet piece and allow the latching lever
to latch. (SEE FIG. D3)
Empty The Dust Bag
Always operate your sander with the dust bag with adapter
fitted. To remove the dust bag with adapter, take the dust
bag with adapter away from the sander. (SEE FIG. D4) .
Then rotate the dust bag counterclockwise and pull off the
dust box out of adapter directly and shake out dust.(SEE
FIG. D5,D6) . For the best performance, always empty the
dust bag in time. To refit the dust bag with adapter, firmly
push the dust bag with adapter into the location on the
sander housing.
4. OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH (SEE
FIG E, F)
Slide the on/off switch to the position marked ”I” to start the
tool. (SEE FIG E)
Slide it to the position marked “0” to stop it. (SEE FIG F)
5. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (SEE FIG G)
With the variable speed control (1), the required speed can
be selected (also while running).
The required speed is dependent on the material and is to
be determined by a practical trial.
After longer periods of working at low speed, allow the
tool to cool down by running it for approx. 3 minutes at
maximum speed with no load.
6. USING THE SANDER (SEE FIG. H)
Guide your sander parallel to the working surface and move
it in circles or in a cross pattern. Do not tilt the tool in order
to avoid deep unwanted sanding marks. The amount of
material removed is determined by the speed of the sanding
disc and the grit size used. The speed of the sanding disc
diminishes relative to the pressure applied to the tool. For
faster removal, do not increase pressure on the tool, but use
a coarser grit size .
