To install the vacuum cleaner hose:
1. Unplug the machine.
2. Plug the vacuum cleaner hose bayonet mount into the swivel mount in the back
of the machine. Once the tangs of the bayonet mount are fully inserted in the
slots, hold the swivel mount from turning and turn the hose bayonet mount
clockwise to lock.
3. Removal is the opposite of assembly.
The vacuum cleaner:
Ensure that you have a bag installed in your vacuum cleaner which is approved and rated for drywall dust.
WARNING: failure to use an approved dust bag in your vacuum will increase the level of airborne dust in the
work area. Prolonged exposure to such dust may cause respiratory harm.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE TOOL
Make sure that the power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the specification plate of the machine and that
the switch is OFF before connecting the tool to the power supply.
Switching the machine on and off
To switch on:
While holding with the left hand on the column and the right hand on the main
handle, press the rocker switch to the right with the thumb of the right hand. Be
prepared for the start-up torque when the machine first starts.
To switch off:
Press the rocker switch to the left. After the machine has been switched off, the
sanding disc will still rotate for a time. Take care that parts of your body do not come
into contact with the disc and do not set the machine down while it is still rotating!
Adjusting the rotation speed:
The speed of the machine is variable to suit different tasks. It can be adjusted from
650rpm up to 1600rpm with the thumb wheel. Using the right thumb, turn it in an
anticlockwise (downward) direction to increase the speed, and in a clockwise
(upward) direction to decrease the speed.
Generally, you should use the higher s peed for fast stock removal and the lower
speed for more precise control.
