Observe the following instructions:
– Do not overload the machine by pressing with ex-
cessive force! The best sanding results are
achieved with moderate application pressure.
The sanding capacity and quality are mainly de-
pendent on the selection of the correct abrasive.
– Hold the machine with two hands, one on the mo-
tor housing and one on the gear head.
For sanding we recommend the following settings
for the adjusting wheel [1-2]:
Sanding work
– Sanding with max. abrasion
– Sanding off old paint
– Sanding of wood and veneered surface
prior to paintwork
– Intermediate sanding of paintwork on sur-
faces
– Sanding thinly applied undercoat
– Sanding wood with nonwoven pad
– Edge breaking on wooden parts
– Smoothing primed wooden surfaces
– Sanding solid wood and veneered edges
– Sanding rebate of windows and doors
– Intermediate sanding of paintwork at edg-
es
– Light sanding of natural wood windows
using nonwoven pad
– Smoothing wooden surfaces using non-
woven pad before staining
– Rubbing or removing excess limestone
residue using nonwoven pad
– Intermediate sanding of paintwork on
stained surfaces
– Cleaning natural wood window rebate us-
ing nonwoven pad

To ensure constant air circulation, always keep the
cooling air openings in the motor housing clean and
free of any obstruction.
3 - 4
In the event of a slowdown in performance or in-
creased vibrations, blow and clean cooling air
openings.
9.1 Sanding pad brake
The rubber sleeve [4-2] brushes off the sanding
pad and prevents uncontrolled turning of the sand-
ing pad. This must be replaced if the braking effect
decreases.
9.2 Cleaning the extraction channels
We recommend cleaning the extraction channels in
2 - 3
the machine [4-1] roughly once a week (particular-
ly if sanding synthetic resin, in the case of wet sand-
ing and if sanding plaster) using a small flat brush
or a cloth.

cause serious machine imbalance that decreases
the quality of the working results and increases
machine wear.
