Choice and installation of sanding pads

Choice of sanding pad
The tool can be fi tted with three sanding pads of
different hardnesses depending on the surface
to be sanded.
Hard: Coarse sanding on surfaces, sanding at
edges.
Soft: Universal use for coarse and fi ne sanding
for fl at and curved surfaces.
Super-soft: Fine sanding on formed parts, curves,
radii. Do not use on edges!
Installation
The FastFix system enables tool-free replacement
of the sanding pad:
– Set the switch (7.1) to the right for the Rotex
rotary motion,
– Press spindle stop (7.3), direction of movement
fi rst to the side, then forwards,
– Turn the fitted sanding disk (7.2) from the
7 .3
spindle (right-handed thread),
– Keep the spindle stop pressed and screw on
the new sanding pad (in doing so, make sure
that the rubber collar (10.1) is correctly fi tted!),
– Let go of the spindle stop.
the drive spindle is stationary. Do not switch on
the motor when the spindle stop is pressed in.

Attaching the abrasive

Stickfi x is a hook-and-loop fastening sys-
tem. Stickfi x sanding pads allow the use
of self-adhesive hook-and-loop abrasives
such as Stickfi x sandpapers and sanding
cloths.
Simply press the abrasive onto the sanding pad
(7.2) and pull it off again after use.
Please note: Use only abrasives with an undam-
aged Stickfi x hook-and-loop coating. Before use,
check that the coating has not been damaged by
improper use (such as over heating).

Securing polishing attachments

To prevent damage, use PoliStick polishing at-
tachments (sponges, felt, lambswool bonnets)
only with the special polishing pad fi tted on the
tool instead of a sanding pad. Like StickFix abra-
sives, the PoliStick polishing attachments are
