b. Speed adjustment
This sander features a variable speed drive which allows the user to select the desired rotation
speed. Speed is set by turning the speed control knob, which has 7 positions (min to max). The
min level is the lowest speed (approx. 1000 rpm), while the max level is the highest (approx. 1850
rpm). Higher speeds are best used for levelling and removal. A slower speed can be used for
precise fine-tuning.
c. Sanding work
To carry out your sanding work, install the appropriate disc (round or triangle) according to the
surface to be sanded (ceiling, ceiling corner, different parts of a wall).
When sanding a high wall or ceiling, use a ladder to reach the area to be sanded.
d. Sanding tips
- Place the sander against the surface to be worked with appropriate effort.
- Apply additional pressure for more pronounced removal and reduce pressure for a smoother,
more precise finish.
- Apply enough pressure to keep the sanding pad flat against the wall surface. Excessive
pressure, however, can cause rub marks or even irregularities on the surface being worked.
- Keep the sander in constant motion while keeping the sanding plate in contact with the surface
to be sanded.
- Use a steady, even sweeping motion with well-distributed effort. Irregular movements and
even stopping on the worked surface can cause marks and irregularities.
- Avoid moving the sanding table against objects such as nails, screws or electrical boxes, as
these may damage the sanding table.
e. Emptying the dust bag
The dust bag should be emptied and cleaned regularly. When the bag is half or 2/3 full, empty it
and clean the inside walls. It is important to empty and clean the dust bag regularly. Lack of
maintenance will result in reduced suction quality. The dust will come out through the sanding
plate instead of into the bag.
- Switch off and unplug the tool.
- The bag has a seam sealed by a plastic clip. Open the plastic clip and empty the dust into a
garbage can or other container.
- If necessary, clean the bag and close it again.
7. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Switch off and disconnect the tool from the power supply before servicing.
This tool requires no specific maintenance apart from blower cleaning.
Regularly check the condition of the power cable, extension leads and cable plug. If the power
cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or a similarly
qualified person to avoid any danger. The unit must not be used if any of these components are
faulty.
You can clean the body of the unit with a soft, damp cloth or a compressor fitted with a suflette.
All other inspections must be carried out by a qualified technician.
Contact Leroy Merlin after-sales service for any tool maintenance.
