Dust extraction

To optimise the dust extraction performance, fit the
sanding sheet in such a way that the holes of the
sanding sheet (1) and sanding disc (2) or sanding
plate (19) are aligned.
Note: We recommend connecting a suitable
extraction device when sanding abrasive material
(e.g. plaster, etc.).
Own extraction units:
Place the textile dust bag (10) with the rubber
sleeve (23) onto the ejection nozzle (13). Pull the
textile dust bag (10) backwards to remove it. Attach
the textile dust bag (10) with the zipper (9) pointing
upwards. (See fig. A)
For optimum extraction performance, empty the
textile dust bag (10) in good time.
Third-party extraction units:
Connect a suitable extraction device to the ejection
nozzle (13) using the connection sleeve
630798000.
7.7 Metal eyelet for fall protection
The metal eyelet (14) is designed for attaching
a suitable, original Metabo tool fall protection
securing lanyard. Check the metal eyelet for
damage prior to each use. Read and follow the
operating instructions of the tool securing lanyard!
After each fall, have the machine checked for
damage by a trained specialist and repaired if
necessary.
8. Cleaning, Maintenance
Emptying the textile dust bag: Remove the
rubber sleeve (23) of the textile dust bag (10) from
the ejection nozzle (13) . Empty the textile dust bag
(10) through the opened zipper (9) , if needed clean
with extraction device. The textile dust bag has a
spring so that it can easily be emptied by tapping on
the closed side.
The clean the machine regularly, frequently
and thoroughly. This includes vacuum cleaning
the ventilation louvres on the motor.
Replace worn sanding disc (2) or sanding plate
(19) (see fig. B)
Note: If abrasive material (e.g. filled or painted
surfaces, etc.) is being sanded, the sanding disc
inevitably wears faster.
The fixing screw (16) can be hot after use!
-Use the hexagon spanner (15) to unscrew the
fixing screw (16) of the sanding disc.
- Remove the sanding disc (2)/sanding plate (19) .
- For sanding plate (as replacement), refer to the
Accessories chapter.
- SXA 18 LTX 125 BL / PowerMaxx SXA 12-125
BL: Position sanding plate (2) and turn it until it
engages on the drive plate (18) .
- PowerMaxx SRA/SMA 12-125 BL: Position the
sanding plate (19): the swivel bolts of the sanding
plate (19) must engage in the housing mount (22).
(See fig. E)
- Insert locking screw (16) again and tighten.
Replacing the disc brake (17) / felt ring (20) (see
fig. B and F)
If the idle speed of the support plate increase in the
course of time, the disc brake (17) or the felt ring
(20) is worn and must be replaced.
Note: If abrasive material (e.g. filled or painted
surfaces etc.) is being sanded, the disc brake and
felt ring inevitable wear faster.
- Use the hexagon spanner (15) to unscrew the
fixing screw (16) of the sanding disc (2) or the
sanding plate (19) .
- Remove the sanding disc (2) or sanding plate (19)
.
- Replace the old braking ring (17) or felt ring (20)
with the new braking ring (see pages 2 and 3),
ensuring that the new braking ring/felt ring is in the
same position as the old one. Ensure that the
position of the marking on the braking ring is
correct. The felt ring has no marking.
- For correct operation, the contact surface of both
the braking and the felt ring to the sanding plate
must be coated with a thin film of grease.
- SXA 18 LTX 125 BL / PowerMaxx SXA 12-125
BL: Position sanding plate (2) and turn it until it
engages on the drive plate (18) .
- PowerMaxx SRA/SMA 12-125 BL: Position the
sanding plate (19): the swivel bolts of the sanding
plate (19) must engage in the housing mount (22).
- Insert locking screw (16) again and tighten.
Do not press the device too firmly against the
surface being sanded. This does not improve, but
rather impairs, the sanding performance.
For optimum extraction performance, empty the
textile dust bag (10) in good time.
Use a suitable sanding disc to achieve the best
possible work results:
