metals or metal objects left in wood. This can hap-
pen especially if the wood dust has paint particles
on it or is mixed with other chemical substances and
the sanded material is hot after extensive working.
You should therefore avoid overheating of products

empty the dust collection box

of the vacuum cleaner before work pauses.
Wear a dust mask!

Instructions, tips and tricks
Move the oscillating sander parallel, in flat
circles or alternating between lengthwise and
side-to-side motions.
Do not press down with the oscillating sander.
The sanding sheets become clogged, which re-
duces the sanding performance.
Clean the sanding sheet 9 occasionally with
the vacuum cleaner.
The removal performance and therefore the re-
sult of your work are determined by the correct
selection of the speed and sanding sheet
9 grit.
Never sand different materials with the same
sanding sheet
9 (e.g. wood then metal).
The following table offers some values, which are
for information only and may simplify the selection
