Working Advice
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.
Wait until the machine has come to a standstill before placing it down.
The power tool is not suitable for stationary operation.
For example, it may not be clamped in a vice or fastened on a workbench.
Sanding Surfaces
Switch the machine on, place it with the complete sanding surface on the surface to be worked and move the machine with
moderate pressure over the work-piece.
The removal capacity and the sanding pattern are mainly determined by the selection of the sanding sheet, the preselected
orbital stroke rate and the applied pressure.
Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good sanding capacity and extend the service life of the machine.
Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure; this increases the working life of the sanding sheets. Intensifying the
sanding pressure does not lead to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to increased wear of the machine and the sanding
sheet. A sanding sheet that has been used for metal should not be used for other materials.
Rough Sanding
Attach a sanding sheet with coarse grain.
Apply only light pressure to the machine so that it runs at a higher stroke rate and high material removal is achieved.
Fine Sanding
Attach a sanding sheet with fine grain.
By lightly varying the application pressure or changing the orbital stroke rate, the sanding plate stroke rate can be reduced
whereby the orbital action is maintained.
With moderate pressure, move the machine in a circular pattern or alternately in lengthwise and crosswise directions over
the work-piece. Do not tilt the machine to avoid sanding through the work-piece (e. g. when sanding veneer).
After finishing the working procedure, switch the power tool off.
Polishing
For the polishing of weathered paint or buffing out scratches (e.g., acrylic glass), the machine can be equipped with
appropriate polishing accessories such as lamb's wool bonnet, polishing felt or sponge (accessories). Select a low stroke rate
(setting 1 -2) for polishing in order to avoid excessive heating of the surface.
Apply the polish onto a somewhat smaller surface than you intend to polish. Work the polishing agent in with a suitable
polishing tool applying it crosswise or with circular motion and moderate pressure.
Do not allow the polishing agent to dry out on the surface, otherwise the surface can become damaged. Do not subject the
surface to be polished to direct sunlight.
Clean the polishing accessories regularly to ensure good polishing results. Wash out polishing accessories with a mild
detergent and warm water; do not use paint thinner.
