Edge protector [6]
The edge protector [1-6] prevents the sanding pad
circumference from coming into contact with a sur-
face (e.g. when sanding along a wall or a window),
thus preventing back-kick of the machine, or ma-
chine damage.
Working with the machine
Observe the following instructions:
– Do not overload the machine by pressing with ex-
cessive force! The best sanding results are
achieved with moderate application pressure.
The sanding capacity and quality are mainly de-
pendent on the selection of the correct abrasive.
– Work in corners and on edges tends to subject
the tip to increased stress and results in in-
creased heat development. In such cases, work
with reduced contact pressure.
– Hold the machine with one hand on the handle
[1-9] .
For sanding, we recommend the following settings
for the adjusting wheel
