Instructions, tips and tricks
j Always hold the appliance firmly with two
hands while working (see also Fig. D, E).
j Move the oscillating sander parallel, in flat
circles or alternating between lengthwise and
side-to-side motions.
j Do not press down with the oscillating sander.
The sanding pads become clogged, which
reduces the sanding performance.
j Clean the sanding pad
9
occasionally with
the vacuum cleaner.
j The removal performance and therefore the
result of your work are determined by the correct
selection of the speed and sanding pad
9
grit.
j Never sand different materials with the same
sanding pad
