Sanding sheets without holes, e. g. from rolls or by the metre,
can be punctured with the perforating tool 12. For this, push
the power tool with the sanding sheet mounted onto the per-
forating tool (see figure F).
To remove the sanding sheet 6, unlock both sanding-sheet
clamps 5 and pull the sanding sheet out of its holder.
Sanding Sheets with Velcro Backing
Sanding plates 4 fitted with Velcro backing can be used to fas-
ten sanding sheets with Velcro adhesion quickly and easily.
Before attaching the sanding sheet 6, free the Velcro backing
of the sanding plate 4 from any debris by tapping against it in
order to enable optimum adhesion.
Position the sanding sheet 6 flush alongside one edge of the
sanding plate 4, then lay the sanding sheet onto the sanding
plate and press firmly.
To remove the sanding sheet 6, grasp it at one of the tips and
pull it off from the sanding plate 4.

Dust/Chip Extraction

 Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered car-
cinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials con-
taining asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.
Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Box
(see figures D1–D4) (GSS 1400 A)
Slide the dust box 2 onto the extraction outlet 9.
The filling level of the dust box 2 can easily be checked
through the transparent container.
To empty the dust box 2, pull it off toward the rear with a slight
twisting motion.
Unscrew the filter element 10 from the dust box 2. Empty the
dust box.
To loosen the dust, gently strike or tap the filter element 10
against a firm surface. Clean the lamellas of the filter element
10 with a soft brush.
Note: To ensure optimum dust extraction, empty the dust box
2 in good time and clean the filter element 10 at regular inter-
vals.
When working vertical surfaces, hold the power tool in such a
manner that the dust box 2 faces downward.
