Speed adjustment
Rotate the selector (4) on the rear of the electric motor
to adjust the speed of rotation of the abrasive disc.
The sander may make a minimum of 800 and a maxi-
mum of 1.450 revolutions per minute.
In general, sanding is less thorough at high speeds
than lower ones.
Always conduct tests before settling on the optimal
speed. The grain of the abrasive disc is an important
factor in the selection of the optimal speed.
Replacing the backing plate
First of all, ensure the tool is not connected to the
power supply.
Then, remove the abrasive disc and the velcroed
sponge backing.
Use the spanner provided to block the central pull shaft
and unscrew the entire backing plate with the other
hand.
Replacing the abrasive disc
The abrasive disc is placed on a velcroed backing for
rapid replacement: pull the disc to be replaced upwards
and replace it with the new one, ensuring the suction
holes coincide with the sponge backing.
There is no need to exert particular pressure as the
disc will adhere by simple handling.
The sponge backing is particularly soft, to avoid
scratches or imperfections forming due to excessive
pressure being exerted on the backing plate.
Connection to a dust vacuum cleaner (1)
For the important reasons specified in the paragraph
dedicated to the operator's safety, we strongly recom-
mend always using the product in conjunction with a
dust vacuum cleaner.
Before every start-up, carefully read the vacuum
cleaner's operating instructions; in the event of a
manual vacuum cleaner, simply switch on the machine.
