Changing the sanding arm
 To change the sanding arm, loosen the
three fastening screws.
 Remove sanding arm.
 Attach new sanding arm using the three
screws.
Operating instructions
NOTE
When the electric power tool is switched off,
it continues running briefly.
Sanding
 When the locking screw (1.) is undone, the
swivel arm can be tilted up to 140° (2.).
As a result, the belt file can also be used for
surfaces which are difficult to access,
e.g. the insides of pipes.
 Vary the removal rate via the contact
pressure. Ensure that the contact pressure
is even and not too heavy. If the contact
pressure is too high, the sanding belt may
slip off the roller.
Sealing the surface
Many manufacturers recommend sealing
finished surfaces with a protective spray (see
Flex stainless steel accessories).
