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 being 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

jSlide the dust collection box 4 onto the adapter 5 on the rear of the appliance.

Remove the dust collection box

jPress the release button 3 and pull the dust collection box 4 off the appliance.

Note: Always empty the dust collection box 4 in due time and shake any remaining dust out; this will ensure optimal vacuum performance.

Attaching the dust removal device to an external vacuum:

When using a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust, slide the suction hose of an appropriate vacuum cleaner (e.g. industrial vacuum cleaner) into the adapter 5 – see Fig. D.

Note: If necessary, use the reducer 12 and insert it into the adapter 5 .

Removing:

jPull the hose from the adapter 5 , or from the reducer 12 , as the case might be.

Instructions, tips and tricks

jAlways hold the appliance firmly with two hands while working (see also Fig. D, E).

jMove the oscillating sander parallel, in flat circles or alternating between lengthwise and side-to-side motions.

jDo not press down with the oscillating sander. The sanding pads become clogged, which reduces the sanding performance.

jClean the sanding pad 9 occasionally with the vacuum cleaner.

jThe removal performance and therefore the result of your work are determined by the correct selection of the speed and sanding pad 9 grit.

jNever sand different materials with the same

sanding pad 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 pad 9 .

Wood	Sanding Pad / Grit
Sanding of wood	40 - 240
Pre-sanding, e.g. of rough,	40, 60
unplaned beams and boards
Surface sanding	80, 100, 120
Fine sanding of hard woods	180, 240
Paints / Lacquers	Sanding Pad / Grit
Sanding of paint /	40 - 320
lacquer coats or base
coats such as filler and
smoothing compound
Sanding off paint	40, 60
Sanding off primer coats	80, 100, 120
