Fitting sanding paper (Figure. B)
Warning! Never use the tool without a sanding
paper or accessory in place.
The tool uses 125 mm (5”) hook and loop sanding
paper with an 8 hole dust extraction pattern.
1. Place the tool on a table, sanding pad (6) up.
2. Place the sanding paper (7) directly on top of the
sanding pad.
3. Hold the sanding pad with one hand and align the dust
extraction holes.
4. Press the sanding paper firmly onto the sanding pad.
Setting the Electronic Speed Control Dial (Fig.
A)
The speed is infinitely variable from 0–13,000 min
-1
using
the electronic speed control dial (2).
Turn the electronic speed control dial to the required level.
The correct setting, however, is a matter of experience.
Generally, harder materials require a higher setting.
Dust Extraction (Fig. C)
WARNING: Since woodworking with a sander
produces dust, always install a dust bag
designed in compliance with the applicable
directives regarding dust emission.
WARNING: Do not use a dust bag or vacuum
extractor without proper spark protection when
sanding metal.
Your sander has a dust extraction methods: a
built-in outlet (5) which allows either the supplied
dust bag (3) or a shop vacuum system to be connected.

1. While holding the sander, fit the dust bag collar(4) to the
outlet (5) as shown in Figure C.
2. Turn the collar (4) anticlockwise to lock the dust bag
(3) in place.
TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG
NOTE: Be sure to wear approved eye protection and
approved dust mask when performing this procedure.
For efficient dust extraction, empty the dust collector
when it is about one third full.
1. While holding the sander, turn the collar (4) clockwise to
unlock the dust bag (3).
2. Remove dust bag from the sander and gently shake or
tap the dust bag to empty.

Excessive pressure does not improve the sanding
effect, but only results in an increased load on the
machine and causes the abrasive to tear.
Avoid overloading.
