SELECTING THE RPM
The rpm can be adjusted by rotating the knob. The choice of speed depends on the cha-
racteristics of the abrasive paper disc and the material to be worked.
REPLACING THE POLISHING PAD
Pull the used pad off and apply the new pad, pressing it onto the back-up pad.
USABLE DISCS
Polishing pads Ø 150 mm.
MAINTENANCE
All maintenance operations are carried out with the power supply disconnected. At the end
of each work session, or when required, remove any dust from the body of the tool using a
jet of compressed air. Lubricate the machine regularly (every 50 hours of operation) by in-
serting 2/3 drops of specific oil (synthetic oil without silicone, ISO 32) into the compressed
air connection, keeping the device in a vertical position, with the connection
facing upwards. After this operation, connect the machine to the power supply and set it in
motion for a few seconds.Lubricate the machine as described above before storing it for
long periods of inactivity.All damages deriving from incorrect or inadequate lubrication are
excluded from the warranty. No other maintenance operations must be undertaken by
the user. Maintenance and cleaning of the inner parts, like ball bearings, gears etc. or
others, must be carried out only by an authorized Assistance Centre.
NOISE
The noise level produced is 76,8 dB, measured according to regulation EN ISO 3744 +
UNI EN ISO 11203. Warning: wear suitable hearing protections! (see warnings).
MEAN ACCELERATION VALUE
The mean quadratic acceleration value is less than 2,5 m/sec2 measured in accordance
with standard UNI EN 28662 + UNI EN ISO 5349.
GUARANTEE
All tools manufactured by RUPES Spa are guaranteed for 12 months from the date of pur-
chase against fabrication and material defects. All tools must be used only with RUPES
original accessories and spare parts: we refuse all responsibility for damages or accidents
caused by non-observance of this rule which will also cause the termination of the gua-
rantee. The guarantee will no longer be valid if the instructions contained in this booklet
are not followed, if the tool is used for purposes other than that for which it is intended, if it
is dismantled, interfered with in any way or damaged due to neglect. The guarantee will be
made valid by filling-in the form on the inside back cover of this instruction booklet. If the
tool is found to be defective or malfunctions, it should be returned carriage free in one piece
in its original packing together with the guarantee certificate to the manufacturer or to one
of the Assistance Centres listed in the appendix to this booklet. The guarantee does not au-
tomatically imply replacement of the tool. RUPES Spa reserves the right to make any
technical or design modification to its products without prior notice. The manufacturer is
not liable for any print errors. This document voids and replaces previous ones.
