of the sanding head nose section by pressing it
downwards and first remove it on the left and then
on the right of the sanding head.
Reassembly is carried out with the same steps in
reverse order (1b.–3b. – refer to page *13*).

6. Maintenance and servicing/repairs
6.1 General
The power plug has to be pulled from the wall
socket before any work on the machine!
Do not use water or other liquid detergent!
All housing parts, controls and joints must be
blown off regularly with clean, dry compressed air!
Make sure that the air vents on the housings are
always clear and clean!
Before operating the machine, regularly check that
mains cables, plugs and other machine compo-
nents are not damaged, and have them replaced
by our MENZER service when necessary!
All repairs to the machine and any work that
requires housing components to be opened must
be performed by MENZER service!
6.2 Changing the abrasive
(page *14* and *15*)
Pull the used abrasive from the sanding pad
(1.–3.), and press the new abrasive on in the same
position, make sure it is centred. It is held in place
by the Velcro system. Select the appropriate grit
size for the application.
Never use the machine without abrasives.
Sanding with the Velcro pad would
destroy it.
6.3 Changing the sanding pad
(page *16* and *17*)
With the Velcro layer on both sides, the round
sanding pad is easily removed by pulling it off the
back pad and pressing on a new, perfectly centred
sanding pad (1.–4.).
Attention! To ensure that the working
environment is as dust free as possible, the
suction openings must match the openings of
the driving disc.
For the best sanding result, the sanding pad
must be completely flat. Damaged pads
must be replaced before further sanding.
In TSW devices: To replace the sanding pad on
the triangular sanding head, please contact the
MENZER service (5. – refer to page *17*).
6.4 Replacing the driving disc
(page *18* and *19*)
To replace the round driving disc first loosen/
pull the sanding pad from the driving disc (refer
to 6.3 Changing the sanding pad). Now tighten
the threaded axle in the centre of the driving disc
with the supplied Allen key (1a.). Now the driving
disc can be turned and removed in the direction of
rotation of the machine by the threaded axle (2a.).
The new driving disc is simply screwed on against
the rotational direction of the machine by hand
until it stops (1b. and 2b.). Now you can refit the
sanding pad (refer to 6.3 Changing the sanding
pad).
Tightening by Allen key is not necessary
(2b.).
6.5 Replacing the brush rim
(page *20* and *21*)
If the brush rim of the round sanding heads is
worn or damaged, it must be replaced.
To replace the brush rim loosen/pull the abrasive
from the driving disc (6.2 Changing the abrasive).
Remove the screws that hold the brush rim, and
then the brush rim itself (1.–3.).
Install the new brush rim in the old position and
retighten it with the screws (4.).
Now you can refit the abrasive (refer to 6.2 Chang-
ing the abrasive).
6.6 Replacing the corners of the triangular
sanding head (in TSW units)
(page *22*)
To replace the corners on the triangular sanding
head, loosen the outer screws on the replaceable
head housing (1). Then replace the corners and
retighten the screws (2).
