achieve the final surface appearance several
pads with different grit are used starting with a
larger grit pad and passing consecutively to the
smallest grid pad for finishing.
The sanding pad (25) diameter must be equal to
the flexible backing pad diameter.
Check the condition of the flexible pad (23)
hook-and-loop fastening regularly. Hook-and-
loop fastening with injured and worn-out hooks
is a prerequisite for poor sanding pad fastening
and hence - a probability for an accident. Do not
operate flexible pads with damaged hook-and-
loop system.
MOUNTING THE SANDING PAD
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. If you have already used the power tool
with another accessory - remove it following the
steps described in the corresponding section for
this accessory.
4. Clean the threaded and face surfaces of
the spindle (8) using a soft cloth.
5. Place the support bush (22) on the spindle
(8) front surface.
6. Ensure there is no dirt or foreign body
between the spindle (8) face and the bush (22)
face which may hamper their contact. The pres-
ence of foreign bodies and disturbed face con-
tact are prerequisites for inexact movement of
the operating tool and increased vibration caus-
ing unsatisfactory quality of the processed sur-
face.
7. Screw the flexible backing pad (23) onto
the spindle (8) М14 thread.
8. Press the spindle lock button (3) and ro-
tate the flexible backing pad (23) clockwise until
the button sinks and locks the spindle (8) move-
ment.
9. Tighten the flexible backing pad (23) by
hand rotating it clockwise.
10. Release the spindle lock button (3). En-
sure that the button (3) has returned in its ini-
tial position and does not lock the spindle (8)
movement. In case the button (3) still locks the
spindle (8), rotate the spindle (8) or the sanding
pad (23) by hand until the button (3) has been
released and returned in its initial position.
11. Mount the selected sanding pad (25) try-
ing to ensure its coaxiality toward the flexible
backing pad (23). Coaxiality is a prerequisite for
12
EN
lack of vibrations and hence - better quality of
the processed surface.
12. Turn the machine with the sanding pad
(25) facing downward.
13. Plug the power tool.
14. Slide the ON/OFF switch slider (5) forward
to switch on the machine.
15. Let the machine operate at no load for ap-
proximately one minute not allowing the sanding
pad (25) to contact any surface.
16. 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!
17. If no trouble is detected then you can start
operation.
REPLACING THE SANDING PAD
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 used sanding pad (25).
4. Follow steps 11 - 17 from section „Mount-
ing the sanding pad".

3. Press the spindle lock button (3) and ro-
tate the sanding set by hand clockwise until the
button sinks and locks the spindle movement.
Remove the flexible backing pad (23) rotating it
anti-clockwise. After removing the flexible back-
ing pad (23) release the lock button (3) and en-
sure that it has returned in its initial position and
does not lock the spindle (8) movement. In case
the button (3) still locks the spindle (25) rotate
the spindle by hand until the button has been
released and returned in its initial position.
4. Remove the flexible backing pad (23) and
the bush (22).
