Fine Sanding
Attach a sanding sheet with fine grain.
By lightly varying the application pressure or changing the or-
bital stroke rate (GEX 125 AC/GEX 150 AC), the sanding
plate stroke rate can be reduced whereby the orbital action is
maintained.
With moderate pressure, move the machine in a circular pat-
tern or alternately in lengthwise and crosswise directions
over the workpiece. Do not tilt the machine to avoid sanding
through the workpiece (e. g. when sanding veneer).
After finishing the working procedure, switch the power tool
off.
Polishing (GEX 125 AC/GEX 150 AC)
For the polishing of weathered paint or buffing out scratches
(e.g., acrylic glass), the machine can be equipped with appro-
priate polishing accessories such as lamb’s wool bonnet, pol-
ishing 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 in-
tend to polish. Work the polishing agent in with a suitable pol-
ishing tool applying it crosswise or with circular motion and
moderate pressure.
Do not allow the polishing agent to dry out on the surface, oth-
erwise the surface can become damaged. Do not subject the
surface to be polished to direct sunlight.
Clean the polishing accessories regularly to ensure good pol-
ishing results. Wash out polishing accessories with a mild de-
tergent and warm water; do not use paint thinner.
