Working with the machine

Hold the machine with two hands, one on the mo-
tor housing and one on the gear head or additional
handle to ensure safe guidance. Do not overload
the machine by pressing with excessive force! The
best sanding results are achieved with moderate
application pressure. The sanding capacity and
quality are mainly dependent on the selection of
the correct abrasive.
