!replace worn sanding sheets in time
!always use the tool with the total sanding surface covered with sanding paper
●Dust suction 5
- empty dustbox A regularly for optimal dust
!do not use dustbox when sanding metal
●Pressure control (7365) 6
Warns the user when applying too much pressure on the tool while working (too much pressure reduces the sanding performance)
- green light 1 turns on when running tool is placed on workpiece

!before the sanding surface reaches the workpiece, you should switch on the tool
!before switching off the tool, you should lift it from the workpiece
●VariTronic speed control (7360)
For optimal sanding results on different materials
- with wheel D 2 you can set the desired sanding speed
- adjust speed to grit size used
- before starting a job, find the optimal speed and grit by testing out on spare material
●Holding and guiding the tool 7
- guide the tool parallel to the working surface
!do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the sanding surface do the work for you
