OPERATING INSTRUCTION
Speed Controller
•
With the speed controller (3) you can adjust the speed according to application. Select the appropriate speed setting
and make sure the sander does not become overloaded and stops running.
•
Turn the speed controller (3) to the desired setting to increase or decrease the speed. The controller can be adjusted
from 1-6. The speed rate can be changed during operation as well.
•
Hint: The required speed rate for cutting rasp, sanding a work piece depends on the material that you are going to
process. For best performance, make some practical tests.
Selecting the Sanding paper
•
Always use abrasive papers suited to the material you want to sand. Then papers must have correct grain size.
•
Depending on grain size there are degrees of coarseness. The coarseness is specified by a number
on the back of papers. The higher the number is, the finer the grain.
•
It is important to use the right paper for each job. For rough sanding use grain sizes up to 80, for soft wood as larch,
pine or spruce use papers from 60grit to 150grit.For dense hardwood as beech or maple, the grain sizes
with up to 220 can be used.
Inserting sand paper
•
Switch off the machine, disconnect the power.
•
The sanding plate is fitted with a hook and eye system for sanding sheets. This enables rapid application of new sheets
without the need for a tensioning system. Before applying a new sheet, tap the dust from the hook and eye fastening
of the sanding plate. Stretch the sanding paper over the sanding plate (5) and ensure that the holes (4) of the plate and
the disc match up.
Dust extraction
•
Connect the dust collection bag to the dust extraction connector (6). Check the filling level, and empty frequently. It is
possible to employ and external vacuum by using a suitable adapter (ask in shop). Always work with a dust extraction
system connected.
Switching on and off

Connect the plug to a power socket
•
Switch on continuous operation, press button (2)
•
Switch off continuous operation: press button (2)
Sanding
•
Position the entire sanding surface on the piece of work
•
Switch the machine on and guide it over the surface to be sanded using circular motions. Do not apply additional pres-
sure to the machine when sanding, the weight of the machine itself is usually sufficient to ensure optimum revolutions
and a good result. Do not tip! Complete several sanding processes using sand paper that gradually gets finder.
Polishing
•
Apply polish using a cross-coat method and allow drying slightly before polishing. When you have completed your
work, reduce the pressure, lift the machine from the piece you are working on, and then switch the machine off.
