ASSEMBLY/ADJUSTMENT OF THE ABRASIVE
SUPPORT (fig.D pos.9)
If it is not assembled yet, carefully observe fig.D
and install it according to the “Maintenance”

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.6) and that any holes present
correspond exactly to the suction holes on the
plate.

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.8).
- To start up move the switch button (pos.3) to
“ON” “I”.
Stopping
To stop move the switch button to “OFF” “O”.
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.
OPERATIONAL TIPS
OPERATIONAL TIPS
After reading the previous chapters carefully,
apply these tips scrupulously to obtain maximum
performance.
Proceed calmly so as to become familiar with
all the controls; after having gained sufficient
experience you will be able to make full use of
its potential.
SPEED ADJUSTMENT (pos.7, when fitted)
Turn the grain roller in order to increase or de-
crease the speed. The speed is to be adjusted
based on the type of process, material and grain
of the abrasive support; do some tests.
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.

SANDING OPERATION
- Before working on important objects (e.g. furni-
ture, vehicles, etc.) do a sanding test to ensure
you have installed the right abrasive support.
- If the item is small and light always fasten it
with a vice while working; if it is not fastened
well, the action of the machine could throw it
against you.
