11.1 Changing sanding sheets
The surface of the grinding wheel (13) is made of a Vel-
cro fabric so that you can attach sanding sheets (16)
with Velcro quickly and easily.
• Before fitting a new sanding sheet (16), remove dirt
and dust from the grinding wheel (13), e.g. with a
brush.
• Place the sanding sheet (16) flush against the edge
of the grinding wheel (13). Then place the sanding
sheet on the grinding wheel (13) and press it firm-
ly. Make sure that the suction holes on the sanding
sheet (16) and grinding wheel (13) match.
• To remove the sanding sheet (16), lift it sideways and
pull it off the grinding wheel (13).
11.2 Fitting/replacing the insert tool (Fig. 2, 4)
m WARNING! Only operate the spindle locking button
(7) when the grinding spindle (12) is stationary. Other-
wise the device may be damaged.
• Only use carbide cup wheels (10) with a flat grinding
surface.
• Clean the grinding spindle (12) and all parts to be
mounted.
• To clamp and release the insert tool, press the spin-
dle lock button (7) to lock it.
• To attach the insert tool, place the mounting flange
(11) on the grinding spindle (12).
• Place the desired insert tool on the grinding spindle
(12).
• Screw on the clamping nut (14) and tighten it with the
two-hole assembly key (15).
NOTE Make sure that the collar of the clamping nut (14)
points outwards.
11.3 Fitting the dust extraction unit
Dusts from materials such as paint containing lead,
some types of wood, minerals and metal can be harm-
ful to health. Touching or inhaling the dust can cause
allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases in the
user or persons in the vicinity.
Certain dusts such as oak or beech dust are consid-
ered carcinogenic, especially in combination with
additives for wood treatment (chromate, wood pre-
servatives). Material containing asbestos may only be
processed by specialists.
• Always use a dust extraction unit.
• Operate the electric tool either with the dust bag (18)
or a vacuum cleaner of dust class M.
• Make sure that the work area is well-ventilated.

• It is recommended to wear respirators with filter
class P2.
• Avoid kinking the suction hose (19).
Observe the regulations applicable in your country for
the materials to be machined.
• Connect the inlet side of the suction hose (19) onto
the suction port (8).
• Now connect the outlet side of the suction hose (19)
to the dust bag (18). Connect the outlet side of the
suction hose (19) onto the suction port of the dust
bag(18).
• To dismantle the suction hose (19), pull the suction
hose (19) off the suction socket (8).
11.4 Fitting the adapter for third-party extraction
• If necessary, connect the dust extraction adapter to
the suction port.
• Connect an approved dust extraction unit.
NOTE: When working with wood or materials that gen-
erate dust that is hazardous to health, the device must
be connected to a suitable, tested extraction device.
11.5 Adjusting the additional grip
The inclination of the additional grip (9) can be adjust-
ed. This is used to achieve a more favourable working
posture of the guide hand during certain applications
(e.g. when grinding close to the edge).
• Loosen the two wing screws and tilt the additional
grip to the desired working position.
• Retighten the wing screws.
12. Working instructions
m Attention!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before commissioning!
m WARNING!
Unplug the mains plug from the socket before car-
rying out any work on the device!
Wait until the device has come to a standstill be-
fore setting it down.
The removal rate and the surface quality are essential-
ly determined by the choice of grinding tool, the prese-
lected speed level and the contact pressure.
Only perfect grinding tools provide good grinding per-
formance and protect the device.
