Sanding sheets without hook and loop
fastening:
Open the two clamping levers 7 .
Push one end of the sanding sheet 9 under the
open clamping bar 6 and clamp the sheet firmly
in place by locking the clamping lever 7 back
in place.
Repeat this procedure at the other end.
Various materials require different grit values. You
can read which grit value is best suited for which
work in our recommendations under “Instructions,
tips and tricks”.
Vacuuming dust
FIRE HAzARD! A risk of fire
exists when working with electrical appliances that
have a dust collection box
4 or can be attached to
a vacuum cleaner via an external suction adapter!
Under certain conditions the sanding dust in the dust
box (or in the vacuum’s dust bag) may self-ignite, e.g.
as a result of flying sparks generated when abrading
metals or metal objects left in wood. This can happen
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 be-
ing sanded as well as the appliance and always
empty the dust collection box
4 or the dust bag of
the vacuum cleaner before work pauses.
Wear a dust mask!
Vacuuming dust with the dust
collection box
Attach the dust collection box:
Push the dust collection box 4 on to the device.
Remove the dust collection box:
Press the release button(s) 3 and pull the dust
collection box 4 off the device.
NoTE: Always empty the dust collection box 4
in due time and shake any remaining dust out; this
will ensure optimal vacuum performance.
Dust extraction using an external
vacuum extraction device
Connecting:
For vacuum dust removal using a vacuum
cleaner, push the suction hose of a vacuum
cleaner approved for use as a dust extraction
device (e.g. a workshop vacuum cleaner) into
the connection
5 – see Fig. D.
NoTE: If it is necessary to use the reducer piece
12 , push the reducer piece into the connection 5 .
Removing:
Pull the hose of the dust extraction device off
the connection
5 or off the reducer piece 12 ,
if one is used.
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
reduces 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
of a sanding sheet
9 .
