Working with the tool
Always secure the workpiece in such a manner that it cannot move while being sanded.
Never overload the tool by using too much pressure! The best sanding results are achieved when applying moderate pressure. Sanding performance and quality depend primarily on the choice of the right abrasive.
For safe guidance, hold the tool with both hands.
Application
Tables A and B show the settings we recommend for different sanding and polishing work.
Metalworking
Observe the following safety precautions when working on metals:
•
•Connect the tool to a suitable dust extractor.
•Regularly clear out any dust accumulations in the motor housing.
• Wear protective goggles.
Maintenance and care
All maintenance or repair work requiring the motor housing to be opened must be carried out only by an authorized service workshop. Maintenance or repair work carried out by an unauthorized person can lead to the incorrect connection of the wiring or other components, which in turn can lead to accidents with serious consequences.
Always remove the plug from the mains supply socket before carrying out any work on the machine!
Always keep the tool and in particular the ventilation slots clean.
Rubber collar
The rubber collar (4.2) protects the drive unit against din. Dirt in the drive unit leads to increased wear and thus a shorter service life of the drive components. The collar should thus be checked regularly for damage. A damaged collar should be immediately replaced by a new one (Order No. 484 561 ). Proceed as follows:
-Release screw holding the sanding pad and remove sanding pad
-Remove seal (4.1)
-Release screw (4.4)
-Remove and replace collar (4.2)
Grease the collar opening (4.3) before fitting.
We recommend that the collar be replaced at the latest when the brushes are changed.
