Operation
Sanding sheets without hook and loop
fastening:
Open the two clamping levers
Push one end of the sanding sheet
open clamping bar
in place by locking the clamping lever
in place.
Repeat this procedure at the other end.
Various materials require different grit values. You
can read which grit value is best suited for which
work in our recommendations under "Instructions,
tips and tricks".
Vacuuming dust
FIRE HAzARD! A risk of fire
exists when working with electrical appliances that
have a dust collection box
a vacuum cleaner via an external suction adapter!
Under certain conditions the sanding dust in the dust
box (or in the vacuum's dust bag) may self-ignite, e.g.
as a result of flying sparks generated when abrading
metals or metal objects left in wood. This can happen
especially if the wood dust has paint particles on it
or is mixed with other chemical substances and the
sanded material is hot after extensive working. You
should therefore avoid overheating of products be-
ing sanded as well as the appliance and always
empty the dust collection box
the vacuum cleaner before work pauses.
Wear a dust mask!
Vacuuming dust with the dust

Dust extraction using an external
vacuum extraction device
Connecting:
For vacuum dust removal using a vacuum
cleaner, push the suction hose of a vacuum
cleaner approved for use as a dust extraction
device (e.g. a workshop vacuum cleaner) into
the connection
NOTE: If it is necessary to use the reducer piece
, push the reducer piece into the connection

Removing:
Pull the hose of the dust extraction device off
the connection
if one is used.
Instructions, tips and tricks
Move the oscillating sander parallel, in flat
circles or alternating between lengthwise and
side-to-side motions.
Do not press down with the oscillating sander.
The sanding sheets become clogged, which
reduces the sanding performance.
Clean the sanding sheet
the vacuum cleaner.
The removal performance and therefore the re-
sult of your work are determined by the correct
selection of the speed and sanding sheet
Never sand different materials with the same
sanding sheet
The following table offers some values, which are
for information only and may simplify the selection
of a sanding sheet
