Virutex LPM97S Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 8

• Lead paint sanding is highly toxic and should only be
done by specially trained professionals equipped with
special equipment for removing this paint.
• Stand firmly on the ground and keep your balance.
Do not overstretch. Use a suitable platform for the
work carried out.
• Always use suitable safety equipment for sanding,
safety goggles and a breathing mask.
• Never let go of the machine until the disc has fully
stopped. The rotary disc could get caught on the work
surface and knock the machine out of your control.
• Do not leave the machine operating while carrying
it with you. The rotary disc could get caught in your
clothes and cause serious injuries.
• Do not use the machine near inflammable substances,
as the sparks could ignite them.
• The LPM97S sander cannot and must not be used for
abrasive blasting, planing, polishing or sawing. Using
the machine for work for which it was not designed is
dangerous and could cause personal injuries.
• Always hold the machine with two hands for sanding.
Losing control of the machine could cause personal
injuries.
• Always grip the device by the insulating handles when
carrying out jobs in which the abrasive disc could come
into contact with hidden electrical cables. Contact with
electrical cables would charge the metal parts of the
machine, causing an electric shock.
• Keep the mains lead away from the machine's wor-
king area. Ensure that the lead remains behind you as
you sand.
• Do not use the machine if the lead is damaged. Damaged
leads increase the risk of electric shock.
• Stop the machine immediately if you notice any
unusual vibrations or any other irregularity, and check
the machine until you find the cause.
• The dust produced when working with this machine
could be harmful to your health. Use a good vacuum
cleaner system, wear a suitable breathing mask and pick
up any dust that falls with a vacuum cleaner.
• Never force a machine that appears to have operating
difficulties or shows some sort of weakness. There may
be a technical problem, in which case continuing to work
could damage the machine irreparably. Have the machine
checked by an authorised service centre whenever the
machine is not working properly.
• Use only original accessories.

4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Check the power supply is always the same voltage as
that indicated on the machine's specifications plate.
The machine may at not be used under any circumstances
if the power lead is damaged.
A lead that is damaged or in poor condition should be
immediately replaced by an authorised technical service;
do not try to repair it yourself.
Working with a lead in poor condition can cause elec-
trical accidents.
5. ELECTRONIC CONTROLS
Smooth starting: Electronic starting controls that ensure
a smooth start and gradual increase in speed.
Controlled speed: You can set the uninterrupted disc
turning speed, from 650 to 1,300 rpm with no load, by
using the thumb wheel (A, Fig. 1). You can in this way set
the best possible sanding speed for each material.
The electronic speed adjuster will keep its speed constant,
even at full loads to provide perfect sanding.
We advise using the highest speeds when a lot of material
needs to be removed and low speeds for finer sanding
and to improve control of the machine.
6. ATTACHING THE ABRASIVE DISC
Unplug the machine. Take off the used disc, ensuring
that the sponge plate remains in position.
Carefully align the holes in the disc (B, Fig. 2) with those
on the plate and press the disc so that it is held in place
by the Velcro on the plate.
7. CHANGING THE SPONGE PLATE
The sponge plate should be perfectly smooth for proper
sanding and good results.
If the pad has become misshapen or damaged by work, the
sanding will be irregular and poor quality. You should chan-
ge the pad immediately when it has been damaged.
