Assembly
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Dust/chip extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
External dust extraction (see figure A)
Insert the dust extraction adapter (13) (accessory) into an
extraction hose (7) (accessory) until you hear it click into
place. Connect the dust extraction adapter (13) to the ex-
traction outlet (3) on the power tool and the extraction
hose (7) to a vacuum cleaner (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust ex-
tractors at the end of these operating instructions.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Changing the sanding sheet (see figure B)
Remove dirt and dust from the sanding plate (5), e.g. with a
brush, before attaching a new sanding sheet.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, make sure that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet are aligned with the
drilled holes in the sanding plate.
The sanding plate (5) is fitted with a hook-and-loop fasten-
ing, allowing sanding sheets with a similar backing to be se-
cured quickly and easily.
Tap the hook-and-loop fastening of the sanding plate (5) be-
fore fitting the sanding sheet (4) to facilitate maximum adhe-
sion.
Position the sanding sheet (4) so that it is flush with one a
side of the sanding plate (5), then place the sanding sheet
on the sanding plate and press it on firmly.
To remove the sanding sheet (4), take hold of it by an edge
and pull it away from the sanding plate (5).
Sanding accessories such as fleece/polishing felt are at-
tached to the sanding plate in the same way.

Choosing the sanding sheet
Different sanding sheets are available, depending on the ma-
terial you are working with and the required surface removal
rate:
Application
Can be used to work on all materials including
wood, paint, filler, varnish, hard and softwood
as well as chipboard and metal
For pre-sanding, e.g. of rough and un-
even beams and boards
For surface sanding and levelling of
slight irregularities
For finishing and fine sanding of hard
woods
For any finishing work, such as polishing (metal and stone in
particular), use fleece/polishing felt.
Different types of fleece and polishing felts should be used
depending on the surface finish required on the workpiece.
Changing the sanding plate (see figure C)
❶ Push the SDS slider for sanding plate release (6) all the
way to the right.
❷ Remove the sanding plate (5).
❸ Move the sanding plate (5) against the sanding plate
holder from below and press it firmly into place.
❹ Push the SDS slider for sanding plate release (6) all the
way to the left.
If the front tip of the sanding sheet has worn down, the en-
tire sanding plate can be removed, rotated 120° and put
back on again for reuse.
Special Sanding Plates
You can replace the standard supplied sanding plate (5) with
one of the special sanding plates that are available as ac-
cessories.
Special sanding plates are fitted in exactly the same way as
the standard supplied sanding plate.
Likewise, each sanding sheet is attached and removed in ex-
actly the same way as the original sanding sheet.
Louvre Sanding Attachment (see figure D)
The louvre sanding attachment (8) allows you to work on
areas that are particularly difficult to reach, such as slats on
windows, cupboards and doors.
Sanding Finger, Flat (see figure E)
The flat sanding finger (10) allows you to work on narrow
slits and tight gaps.
Sanding Finger, Oval (see figure F)
The oval sanding finger (11) allows you to work on curves,
hollow parts and concave surfaces, such as those found on
items of furniture, handrails and radiators.
