Sanding Sheets without Velcro Backing

(see figures C – E)

 Unlock both sanding-sheet clamps 11 and swivel them

downwards.

 Insert the sanding sheet 9 under the rear clamping

bracket 10. Ensure that the sanding sheet 9 is not too

short and that it is correctly clamped. Swivel the sand-

ing-sheet clamp 11 back into the starting position and

lock it there.

 Place the sanding paper taut around the sanding plate 6.

Clamp the front part of the sanding sheet under the front

clamping bracket 12. Ensure that the sanding sheet 9 is

not too short and that it is correctly clamped. Swivel the

sanding-sheet clamp 11 back into the starting position

and lock it there.

Sanding sheets without holes, e. g. from rolls or by the metre,

can be punctured with the perforating tool 13. For this, push

the power tool with the sanding sheet mounted onto the per-

forating tool (see figure F).

To remove the sanding sheet 9, unlock both sanding-sheet

clamps 11 and pull the sanding sheet out of its holder.

Selecting the Sanding Sheet

Depending on the material to be worked and the required rate

of material removal, different sanding sheets are available:

Dust/Chip Extraction

 Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings,

some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to

one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause

allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of

the user or bystanders.

Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered car-

cinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment

additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials con-

taining asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable

for the material.

– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.

– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.

Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the

materials to be worked.

 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can

easily ignite.

Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Box

(see figure G–J)

Slide the dust box 2 onto the extraction outlet 14.

The filling level of the dust box 2 can easily be checked

through the transparent container.

To empty the dust box 2, pull it off toward the rear with a slight

twisting motion.

Unscrew the filter element 15 from the dust box 2. Empty the

dust box.

To loosen the dust, gently strike or tap the filter element 15

against a firm surface. Clean the lamellas of the filter element

15 with a soft brush.

Note: To ensure optimum dust extraction, empty the dust box

2 in good time and clean the filter element 15 at regular inter-

vals.

When working vertical surfaces, hold the power tool in such a

manner that the dust box 2 faces downward.

External Dust Extraction (see figure K)

Attach the vacuum hose 16 (accessory) to the extraction out-

let 14. Connect the vacuum hose 16 to a vacuum cleaner (ac-

cessory).

The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being

worked.

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to

health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.

When working vertical surfaces, hold the power tool in such a

manner that the vacuum hose faces downward.

Operation

Starting Operation

 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-

er source must agree with the voltage specified on the

nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with

230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

Switching On and Off

To start the machine, tilt the On/Off switch 1 toward the right

to the “I” position.

To switch off the machine, tilt the On/Off switch 1 toward the

left to the “0” position.

To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

Working Advice

 Wait until the machine has come to a standstill before

placing it down.

 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains

plug.
