Usage Features

The sander is equipped with several features to enhance usability and safety:

Guide Handle (1): Located at the front of the tool, this handle should be used with both hands for better control.
ON/OFF Switch Button (2): A simple push-forward ("I" position) to switch on and pull-backward ("O" position) to switch off mechanism.
Speed Control Dial (6): Allows regulation of the vibration speed from 6000 to 11000 vibrations per minute, enabling adjustment for different materials and tasks.
Sanding Paper Attachment:
- Hook-and-loop system (5): For quick and easy attachment of sanding paper (7). Users must ensure the perforations in the paper align with those on the sanding plate for optimal dust collection and that the paper rests flush and securely.
- Paper Clamps (4): For securing sanding paper. The clamps open to allow insertion of new paper, which is then pressed against the sanding plate and secured by fastening the clamps.
Dust Collection Box (3): Attaches to the dust extraction port (8) to collect sanding dust. It is installed by sliding it into the port until the latches are secured. To remove, the process is reversed, and the box can be opened to empty collected dust. Regular emptying and cleaning of the dust box are recommended.
Safety Warnings:
- Users are advised to read the manual and general safety instructions carefully before use.
- Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
- Secure the workpiece with clamps.
- Keep the baseplate holes clean.
- Observe regulations when sanding painted surfaces, especially lead-based paint, requiring special masks and restricting children/pregnant women from the work area.
- Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in the work area.
- The sander is not suitable for wet sanding.
- Never use the machine for sanding magnesium workpieces.
- Packaging materials are not toys and pose a suffocation risk.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the sander:

Cleaning:
- Always disconnect the power plug before performing any maintenance.
- Keep the ventilation slots clean to prevent engine overheating.
- Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use.
- Ensure ventilation slots are free from dust and dirt.
- For stubborn dirt, use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water.
- Important: Never use solvents like petrol, alcohol, or ammonia water, as these can damage plastic parts.
General Power Tool Care:
- Store power tools out of reach of children and untrained users.
- Maintain power tools by checking for misalignment, jammed moving parts, breakages, or any other issues affecting operation. Damaged tools must be repaired.
- Keep cutting tools (sanding paper) sharp and clean.
- Service should be performed by a qualified specialist using standard spare parts to ensure safety standards are met.
Environmental Considerations:
- When the appliance needs replacement after extended use, it should not be disposed of with household refuse.
- Waste electrical machine items should be recycled where facilities exist, in an environmentally safe way. Consult local authorities or retailers for recycling advice.
