Suction force is adjusted with the knob on the grinding
disc guard - by increasing the opening gap in the knob, the
suction force is reduced, i.e. when the gap is completely
open, the suction force is at its lowest and vice versa.
Replacing carbon brushes:
Unscrew the screws holding carbon bushes in place,
remove worn out bushes, replace with new ones and screw
in the carbon brushes screws:
