ASSEMBLY/ADJUSTMENT OF THE ABRASIVE
SUPPORT (fig.D pos.11)
If it is not assembled yet, carefully observe fig.D
and install it according to the “Maintenance”
chapter.
If it is already assembled, check that it is taut
without any folds.
Check that it is positioned exactly in the centre
of the plate (pos.9) and that any holes present
correspond exactly to the suction holes on the
plate.
SUCTION TUBE ASSEMBLY (not supplied) (fig.C)
For optimum suction it is possible to connect the
pipe of a suction device to the connector (pos.8).
For the appropriate type of suction device, ask
your dealer for advice. The connector is of the
pressure type.
STARTING AND STOPPING
IMPORTANT! Before starting the electrical
tool it is compulsory to wear protection gog-
gles, headphones and a dust repelling mask
(not provided).
IMPORTANT! Make sure nobody is ap-
proaching the working area while the tool is
running.
Starting
- Plug the tool into the electric power supply.
- Grip the main handle firmly (pos.2); for models
with a double handle, also grip the upper handle
(pos.6).
- To start up, press the switch button (pos.4).
The switch is a ‘maintained action’ switch so
the electrical tool will stay on when you keep
the switch pressed.
Stopping
To stop release the switch button.
Continuous operation
For continuous operation it is necessary to press
the retainer button (pos. 3) so as to lock the
switch after the start-up phases.
Then to stop the tool press the switch and rele-
ase it immediately.

IMPORTANT! When working with the
switch in continuous mode, never let go of the
grip on the main handle so that, in the event
of danger, you can immediately stop the tool.
We recommend repeating these operations
several times before starting work, in order to
familiarise yourself with the controls as far as
possible.
If you notice any working defects, switch off
the electrical tool and consult the chapter “Pro-
blems, causes and solutions”.
When not using the tool, turn it off and discon-
nect the plug from the socket.

Proceed calmly so as to become familiar with

ABRASIVE SUPPORT
Use the suitable abrasive support for the sanding
operation to be carried out. The choice depends
on the material to be processed and the required
finishing degree; there are different types on
the market marked with a number defining the
surface “grain”, printed on the back. Ask your
retailer to give you the best advice on this. Our
company produces a wide range of abrasive
supports suitable for the various uses.
