Preselecting the speed
To set the operating speed, move the dial
to the required value.
Using extension (optional)
An extension tube is available for the wall
sander GE 5/GE 5 R/GSE 5 R.
The extension tube can be used to increase
the range when working with the wall
sander.
 Attach extension tube from below
to the housing of the wall sander (1.)
and push it forwards until it engages (2.).
 To remove, press in both catches (1.)
and remove extension tube (2.).
Working with the power tool
CAUTION!
Hold the electric power tool with both hands!
When working, always have one hand
on the handle – even when working with
attached extension. Keep your hands away
from the sanding head.
Otherwise, your hand could become caught,
as the sanding head swivels in different
directions.
1. Attach sanding tool.
2. Connect dust extraction system.
3. Insert mains plug.
4. Set required speed.
5. Switch on dust extraction system.
6. Hold the wall sander with both hands.
This provides the best possible
combination of range and leverage
for the application.
7. Switch on the device.
8. Press the wall sander gently against
the work surface (the pressure should
be just enough to ensure that the san-
ding head is flush with the work sur-
face).
9. Increase the pressure to bring the san-
ding sheet into contact with the work
surface. In doing so, swing the sander
in overlapping movements to smooth
the surface to the required fineness.
