5. Commissioning
Before plugging in, check to see that the rated
mains voltage and mains frequency,
as stated on the rating label, match your power
supply.
Always install an RCD / GFCI with a maximum
trip current of 30 mA upstream.
5.1
Additional handle (removable)
If necessary, you can unscrew the additional handle
(3) (right-hand thread).
5.2
Installation of sanding disc
Simple attachment and removal thanks to the
velcro-type fastening.
Simply press on the sanding disc such that the
holes in the sanding disc (1) are aligned with the
support plate (2).

1.
You can choose between two oscillating frequency
settings:
• Oscillating circuit high setting (6.2 mm): coarse
sanding with high material removal rate
• Oscillating circuit low setting (2.8 mm): fine
sanding, polishing
Changing oscillating circuit:
- Disconnect the mains plug!
- Press in the locking button (8) and hold in place.
- Rotate support plate (2) in a counter-clockwise
direction until you can hear it engage.
- Continue holding in the button.
- Continue turning the support plate half a
revolution to the next snap-in point.
- Release the locking button.
6.2
On/Off switch, continuous activation
To start the machine, press the trigger switch (7).
For continuous operation the trigger switch can be
locked using the lock button (6). To stop the
machine, press the trigger switch (7) again.
6.3
Setting oscillating frequency
When the TurboBoost switch (5) is switched
off, the oscillating speed can be set at the
setting wheel (4). This is also possible during
operation.

TurboBoost switch
Actuate the TurboBoost switch (5) during operation
to switch on additional power reserves for maximum
material removal rate.
6.5
Dust extraction
To optimise the dust extraction performance, fit the
sanding disc such that the holes on the sanding disc
(1) are aligned to the support plate (2).
Note: We recommend connecting a suitable
extraction device when sanding abrasive material
(e.g. plaster, etc.).
Own extraction units:
Fit dust bag (12) to the ejection nozzle (11). Pull the
dust bag (12) backwards to remove it.
Empty the dust bag (12) in good time to optimise
dust extraction.
Third-party extraction units:
Connect a suitable extraction device to the ejection
nozzle (11).
7. Cleaning, Maintenance
Emptying the dust bag: remove the closure band
(13). Empty the dust bag (12), clean with an
extraction device if necessary. Close the dust bag
again with the closure band (13).
The clean the machine regularly, frequently
and thoroughly. This includes vacuum cleaning
the ventilation louvres on the motor.
Replacing a worn support plate
Note: If abrasive material (e.g. filled or painted
surfaces, etc.) is being sanded, the support plate
inevitably wears faster.
- Use the hexagon spanner (10) to unscrew the
fixing screw (14) on the support plate.
- Remove support plate (2).
- For replacement support plates, refer to the
Accessories chapter.
- Mount support plate (2) and rotate until it engages
on carrier disc.
- Insert locking screw (14) again and tighten.
Replacing a support plate brake / braking ring
If the idle speed of the support plate increases in
course of time, the braking ring (15) is worn and
must be replaced.
Note: If abrasive material (e.g. filled or painted
surfaces, etc.) is being sanded, the braking ring
inevitably wears faster.
- Use the hexagon spanner (10) to unscrew the
fixing screw (14) on the support plate.
- Remove support plate (2).
- Replace the old braking ring (15) with the new
braking ring (see page 2), ensuring that the new
braking ring is in the same position as the old
