13. Remove the pin spanner (26).
14. Mount the flexible pad (17) onto the sup-
port disc (15). Ensure the coaxiality between the
openings of the support disc (15) and the flex-
ible pad (17) for better dust extraction. Proper
dust extraction is a prerequisite for high quality
of the processed surface.
MOUNTING THE SANDPAPER
The machine is delivered assembled. All you
have to do is mount the selected sandpaper
and check if the tightening nut (16) is fastened
firmly.
1. Ensure that the power tool is unplugged.
2. Turn the machine in a way ensuring ac-
cess to the operating tool. We recommend fixing
the machine in stationary position. Thus it would
be possible to use both hands for convenient
and safe assembly.
3. Fasten the tightening nut (16) firmly using
the pin spanner (26) supplied with the machine.
4. Mount the selected sandpaper disc trying
to ensure its coaxiality toward the flexible pad
and the support disc.
5. Ensure the coaxiality between the open-
ings of sandpaper and the flexible pad (17) for
better dust extraction. Proper dust extraction is
a prerequisite for high quality of the processed
surface.
6. Press the sandpaper (18) to the flexible
pad (17) to ensure maximum cohesion of the
hook-and-loop surfaces.
7. Turn the machine with the sandpaper fac-
ing downward.
8. Plug in the power tool.
9. Select position G of the electronic regula-
tor (19). Slide the ON/OFF switch slider (5) for-
ward to start the machine.
10. Let the machine operate at no load for ap-
proximately one minute not allowing the operat-
ing tool to contact any surface.
11. At the event of increased vibrations or
other symptoms not typical for operation, stop
the machine immediately and search for the
reason. If you can not detect the reason your-
self - contact the nearest authorised SPARKY
service centre. Operating with a faulty machine
may cause an accident!
12. If no trouble is detected then you can start
operation.
REPLACING THE SANDPAPER
1. Ensure that the power tool is unplugged.
2. Turn the machine in a way ensuring ac-
cess to the operating tool. We recommend fixing

3. Remove the clogged sandpaper (18) by
tearing it from the flexible pad (17).
4. Follow steps 4 - 12 described in section
„Mounting the sandpaper".

SANDING WITH SANDPAPER
1. Ensure that the power tool is unplugged.
2. Turn the machine in a way ensuring ac-
cess to the operating tool. We recommend fixing
the machine in stationary position. Thus it would
be possible to use both hands for convenient
and safe assembly.
3. Remove the sandpaper (18).
4. Remove the flexible pad (17) by tearing it
from the support disc (15).
5. Press the spindle lock button (3) and rotate
by hand the operating accessory clockwise until
the button sinks and locks the spindle. Remove
the tightening nut (16) using the pin spanner
(26). After removing the nut ensure that the lock
button (3) has returned in its initial position and
does not lock the spindle (8) movement. In case
the button (3) still locks the spindle (8) rotate the
spindle by hand until the lock button has been
released and returned in its initial position.
6. Remove the support disc (15) and the sup-
port flange (14).
SANDING WITH ABRASIVE NET
Operation with abrasive net is entirely analogi-
cal to operating with sandpaper.
Familiarise yourself with the corresponding
information for using sandpaper in the corre-
sponding sections and perform the described
procedures.
OPERATING WITH DIAMOND DISC
The choice of the diamond disc (21) depends on
the material you intend to process, the surface
quality you intend to achieve, etc. The maximum
diamond disc diameter to use with this machine
is 7" (~178 mm). The diamond disc max. weight
should not exceed 0.5 kg. Diamond disc bore
shall be Ø22.23 mm. The use of discs with bore
differing from the specified here is not admitted.
MOUNTING THE DIAMOND DISC
1. Ensure that the power tool is unplugged.
2. Turn the machine in a way ensuring ac-
