Sanding
Note: This sander is designed for sanding wood, metal, plastic and similar materials. It is
used mainly for quick removal of large amounts of material.
1. Sand the workpiece in overlapping strokes, always in parallel to the grain
2. To remove paint or smooth very rough wood, sand across the grain at 45° in two
directions, then finish in parallel to the grain
Note: The sander's design with flush side enables sanding right up to perpendicular
surfaces.
3. Use the Front Belt Roller (9) only to sand corners or irregular shapes
4. Always lift the sander off the workpiece prior to switching off
WARNING: The sanding belt will continue to run for a short time after the On/Off Trigger
Switch (3) is released. Keep hands clear of the belt and do not put the machine down until
the motor has stopped completely.

the dust bag.

Note: If the sanding dust contains harmful substances, such as particles from old paint,
varnish, surface coatings etc., always dispose of these according to the relevant laws
and regulations.
WARNING: For optimum dust removal, empty the dust bag when it is no more than half full.
Note: Always clean the tool THOROUGHLY when switching from sanding wood to sanding
