8 Sanding base brakes
The sanding base is braked by a collar (2.2) in
order to prevent any uncontrolled excessive
speed of the sanding base.
Because the collar wears down in the course
of time, it has to be replaced by a new one
(order no. 453 388) as soon as there is any
reduction in the braking effect.
9 Maintenance and care
Always remove the plug from the
mains supply socket before carrying
out any work on the machine!
The cooling air vents on the motor housing
must always be free of blockages and clean to
ensure air circulation.
Any maintenance or repair work requiring the
motor housing to be opened may only be
carried out by an authorised service workshop.
