5.4 Settings and handling (see page *1*)
a. Switch on the extraction unit first and then
switch on the sander. Hold the machine securely
and press the On/Off switch. Actuate the operat-
ing level to start sanding. Anticipate a rotational
movement on activation.
b. Hold the random orbital sander with both
hands at the designated insulated grip areas.
c. Adjust the rotational speed via the speed
controls [–] and [+] in 1,000 [rpm] increments from
4,000 [rpm] to 10,000 [rpm]. Higher speeds allow
more abrasion, while lower speeds ensure more
control over the sanding process.
Sanding performance, quantity and quality
depend largely on the correct choice of
abrasive.
d. Begin the sanding process by gently lowering
the power tool onto the substrate.
Caution! Secure the workpiece in place to
prevent its movement during sanding.
Press down onto the substrate only as much
as needed to have the abrasive in full
contact with the surface. Pressing down with too
much force can result in spiral-shaped scratch
patterns on the substrate and may damage the
tool long-term. We recommend using a circular,
overlapping forward motion of the sanding head
across the work area. The sander should remain in
constant motion until the desired refinement is
achieved, as prolonged sanding in place will result
in abrasion marks.
Too much pressure will result in an overloading of
the machine and overheating of the sanding disc
and driving disc, leading to premature wear.
The sanding quality and performance depends
largely on the correct choice of abrasive.
e. Release the operating lever to deactivate the
sander. The driving disc with the abrasive will slow
down to a standstill. Switch off the sander

by pressing the On/Off switch. Make sure that
the driving disc has come to a complete standstill
before putting down the machine.
Caution! The mains plug must be
disconnected from the mains
socket and must not be plugged into the
mains socket for all attachment and
detachment works described in these
operating instructions! Wait until the driving
disc has come to a complete standstill!
6. Maintenance and service
6.1 General information
The mains plug must be disconnected from the
mains socket before carrying out any work on the
power tool!
Do not use water or any liquid cleaning agents!
All housing parts and operating elements must be
cleaned with dry, clean compressed air regularly!
Make sure that the ventilation slits in the housing
are free and clean at all times!
Regularly clean the extraction zone underneath
the driving disc and the opening to the extractor
guide around the sanding disc with compressed
air, a fine brush or a dry cloth. Check the con-
nection cable, mains plug and other power tool
components regularly for visual damage and have
them replaced by your MENZER Service workshop
as needed!
All repairs on the power tool and any works that
entail opening any of the device components must
be carried out by MENZER Service!
6.2 Replacing the abrasive (see page *2*)
Detach the worn abrasive from the driving disc
and press on the new abrasive centrically in the
same position. The hook & loop layer will hold it
in place.
Ensure proper alignment of the extraction open-
ings and select a grit size appropriate for the
intended use (please read chapter 5.3 Commis-
sioning).
Never use the power tool without an
attached abrasive. Sanding without an
abrasive would destroy the driving disc.
6.3 replacing the driving disc (see page *3*)
Only use OEM driving discs! To replace the driving
disc, insert the spanner between the driving disc
and the sealing collar to hold the drive shaft in
place. Now you can rotate the driving disc in the
machine's rotation direction to remove it from the
drive shaft.
Place the new driving disc with distance ring onto
the drive shaft and rotate it onto the shaft against
the rotational direction of the machine to the stop
and tighten it in place.
Don't forget to remove the spanner!
