Move the sander constantly while the sanding plate is in con-
tact with the work surface. In doing so, ensure that you move
the sander evenly and over a wide area.
If you stop the sander on the work surface or move the sander
unevenly, this may result in a disagreeable spiral pattern of
scratches and an uneven work surface.
NOTE
The wall sander features an overload cutout for protecting the
device. If the load is too great, the device switches off and
immediately restarts.
