Operation
WARNING! Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists. Use a dust extraction
system suitable for the material as far as possible.
01
Sanding
• Do not use the same sanding paper on different materials, e. g. do not use the
sanding paper that has been used for sanding metal to sand wood. Small metal
particles remaining in the sanding paper will lead to scratches.
• Ensure the workpiece is free of obstacles like nails or screws before operation.
Remove them if required. Where possible, secure smaller workpieces to prevent
them from moving under the product.
• Hold the product with the hand grip (1) rmly by one hand.
• Switch the product on and wait until it runs at full speed before placing it on the
workpiece.
• Move the product slowly and steadily over the workpiece surface in parallel and
overlapping stokes.
• Only apply the least possible pressure to keep the product at on the workpiece.
Higher pressure will not increase but lower the performance of the product,
increase wear of the sanding paper and lead to uneven results.
• Work with a dust extraction system particularly when sanding coats of varnish as
the varnish could melt and smear the surface of the workpiece and the sanding
paper.
• Keep the product moving at all times, do not stop in one position to avoid grooves.
• Lift the product from the workpiece before switching it off..
After use
• Switch the product off, wait for complete stop, disconnect it from the power supply
and let it cool down.
• Check, clean and store the product as described below.
