Attaching the abrasive
Stickfi x is a hook-and-loop fastening
system. Stickfi x sanding pads allow
the use of self-adhesive hook-and-
loop abrasives such as Stickfi x sand-
papers and sanding cloths.
Simply press the abrasive onto the sanding
pad (7.2) and pull it off again after use.
Please note: Use only abrasives with an
undamaged Stickfi x hook-and-loop coating.
Before use, check that the coating has not
been damaged by improper use (such as
over heating).
Securing polishing attachments
To prevent damage, use PoliStick polish-
ing attachments (sponges, felt, lambswool
bonnets) only with the special polishing
pad fi tted on the tool instead of a sanding
pad. Like StickFix abrasives, the PoliStick
polishing attachments are simply pressed
onto the polishing pad and pulled off after
use.
Working with the tool
Always secure the workpiece
in such a manner that it cannot move while
being sanded.
Never overload the tool by us-
ing too much pressure! The best sanding
results are achieved when applying mod-
erate pressure. Sanding performance and
quality depend primarily on the choice of
the right abrasive.
For safe guidance, hold the tool with one
hand on the motor housing (8.2) and the
other hand on the gear head (8.1).
Tables A and B show the settings we rec-
ommend for different sanding and polishing
work.
