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

allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of

the user or bystanders.

Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered

as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-

ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials

containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suita-

ble 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. Dusts can

easily ignite.

Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Box

(see Fig. A1 – A4)

Before assembling the dust box 6, pull out the plastic slider

13. Place the dust box 6 onto the extraction outlet 14 and al-

low it to engage. Make sure that the plastic slider 13 engages

in the holder 12.

To empty the dust box 6, press the latching levers 15 on the

side of the dust box (). Pull off the dust box toward the bot-

tom ().

Before opening the dust box 6, it is recommended to loosen

the dust from the filter element by gently striking it against a

firm support (as shown in the figure).

Grasp the dust box 6 by the recessed grip, fold the filter ele-

ment 16 upward and empty the dust box. Clean the thin

plates of the filter element 16 with a soft brush.

External Dust Extraction (see figure B)

Slide the extraction adapter 17 onto the outlet piece 14. En-

sure that the latching levers of the extraction adapter engage.

The extraction adapter 17 accepts a vacuum hose with a di-

ameter of 19 mm.

For removal of the extraction adapter 17, press the latching

levers together at the rear and pull the extraction adapter off.

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.

Replacing the Sanding Sheet

When attaching a new sanding sheet, remove any dust or de-

bris from the sanding plate 9 (e. g. with a brush).

To ensure optimum dust extraction, pay attention that the

punched holes in the sanding sheet match with the holes in

the sanding plate.

Sanding Sheets with Velcro Backing (see figure C)

The sanding plate 9 is fitted with Velcro backing for quick and

easy fastening of sanding sheets with Velcro adhesion.

Before attaching the sanding sheet 19, free the Velcro back-

ing of the sanding plate 9 from any debris by tapping against

it in order to enable optimum adhesion.

Position the sanding sheet 19 flush alongside one edge of the

sanding plate 9, then lay the sanding sheet onto the sanding

plate and press firmly.

To remove the sanding sheet 19, grasp it at one of the tips and

pull it off from the sanding plate 9.

Sanding Sheets without Velcro Backing (see figure D)

Lightly lift and unlatch the sanding-sheet clamp 8.

Guide the sanding sheet 19 under the opened rear clamping

bracket 10 to the stop and clamp the sanding sheet by rein-

serting the sanding-sheet clamp 8.

Fold the sanding sheet 19 firmly around the sanding plate.

Guide the other end of the sanding sheet 19 under the open

front clamping bracket 10 and clamp the sanding sheet by re-

inserting the sanding-sheet clamp 8.

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

can be punctured with the perforating tool 20 for use with

dust extraction. For this, press the machine with the mounted

sanding sheet onto the perforating tool (see figure E).

To remove the sanding sheet 19, unlatch the sanding-sheet

clamp 8 and pull out the sanding sheet.

Selecting the Sanding Sheet

Depending on the material to be worked and the required rate

of material removal, different sanding sheets are available:

Replacing the Sanding Plate (see figureF)

The sanding plate 9 can be replaced, if required.

Unscrew the 6 screws 21 completely and remove the sanding

plate 9. Attach the new sanding plate 9 and tighten the screws

again.
