INSTALLATION OF SANDING PAPER
The sander is equipped with working pad with hook-and-loop attachment, allowing quick and easy
replacement of sanding paper.
● Install sanding paper to working pad (8) so its holes match with holes in the working pad of the sander,
then press to ensure efficient dust extraction.
● To remove sanding paper, lift edge of it on one side and pull (fig. A).
Use perforated sanding paper, so the dust can reach dust extraction system through holes in the
working pad. With each replacement of sanding paper clean the working pad, remove dust and all
dirt with e.g. brush.
EXTENDING THE ARM
Long reach sander can be used with short arm to sand walls and with arm extension, which improves range
for sanding e.g. ceilings.
● Loosen locking cap (5) of the extension (2).
● Place extension arm (10) in the arm pipe (2), slide the reducer sleeve (11) into fixing of the clamp cap (5),
set desired length and tighten the clamp cap (5) (fig. b).
DUST EXTRACTION
Install suction hose (12) to the arm tip (2) or extension arm (10).
● Loosen the clamp cap (5), slide suction hose end (12) into the hole and secure by tightening the clamp
cap (5) (fig. C, D).
● Connect the other end of suction hose to a suction system, e.g. workshop vacuum cleaner (the cleaner
must be designed for gypsum dust extraction).
When starting the work, first switch vacuum cleaner, next the sander. When the work is finished proceed
inversely – switch off the sander first, then the vacuum cleaner. This procedure allows to avoid unnecessary
dustiness in the workplace. Some types of industrial or workshop vacuum cleaners are equipped with
power supply socket for power tools and switching the vacuum cleaner on and off is automated, controlled
with switching the power tool.
SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF
The mains voltage must match the voltage on the rating plate of the sander.
Switching on – change over the switch button (4) to position I (fig. E).
Switching off – change over the switch button (4) to position O.
ROTATIONAL SPEED CONTROL
Wheel for speed control (3) is located on the sander body. Select the speed depending on your needs
(depending on the sanding paper used, hardness of processed material, type of work etc.). Rotating the
wheel for rotational speed control (3) increases or reduces speed of working pad (fig. F).
SANDER OPERATION
Processed surfaces must be dry and must not contain foreign objects, e.g. screws, nails, bolts etc.
hold the sand firmly with both hands.
● Switch the sander on and wait until working pad reaches its full rotational speed.
● Put whole surface of the working pad to processed surface (articulated connection of working pad and
its cover will adjust to the surface automatically) (fig. G).
● Apply moderate pressure and move the sander along processed surface with rotary movements, or
crosswise and lengthwise alternately.
● Overpressure will not increase sanding efficiency, but may cause faster wear of sander parts and sanding
paper.
