Selecting the Sanding Sheet
Depending on the material to be worked and the required rate
of material removal, different sanding sheets are available:
For the working of all wooden
materials
For coarse-sanding, e. g. of
rough, unplaned beams and
boards
For face sanding and planing
small irregularities
For finish and fine sanding of
hard woods
For the working of
paint/enamel coats or primers
and fillers
For sanding off paint
For sanding primer
For final sanding of primers
before coating
Replacing the Sanding Plate (see figure F)
The sanding plate 6 can be replaced, if required.
Unscrew the 4 screws 11 completely and remove the sanding
plate 6. Attach the new sanding plate 6 and tighten the screws
again.
Operation
Starting Operation
 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, press the On/Off switch 2 and keep it
pressed.
To lock the pressed On/Off switch 2, press the lock-on button
3.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 2 or
when it is locked with the lock-on button 3, briefly press the
On/Off switch 2 and then release it.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Preselecting the Orbital Stroke Rate
With the thumbwheel for preselection of the orbital stroke
rate 1, you can preselect the required orbital stroke rate, even
during operation.
The required stroke rate depends on the material and the
working conditions and can be determined through practical
testing.

crease of the sanding capacity, but to increased wear of the
machine and the sanding sheet.
