Switching on and off
NOTE
►
Always switch on the air sander before
bringing it into contact with the workpiece
material .
Switching on the air sander:
♦
Press the operator's lever
♦
Set the speed using the speed control
Switching off the air sander:
♦
Release the operator's lever
♦
After you finish work, disconnect the device
from the compressed air source .
NOTE
►
First disconnect the hose from the compressed
air source (compressor) and only then discon
nect the compressed air supply hose from the
device . This will ensure that the compressed
air supply hose does not wave around in an
uncontrolled manner .
Advice on use
■
Wait until the device has come to a standstill
before you put it down .
Sanding surfaces
■
Switch the air sander on and bring the whole
of its sanding area into contact with the surface
to be abraded . Move it using even pressure to
and fro over the workpiece .
NOTE
►
The sanding output and appearance are
largely dependent on the choice of sanding
sheet and the pressure applied . A sanding
sheet must be free of defects to produce a
good sanding output .
■
Ensure that you use an even pressure . Excessive
pressure does not produce a higher sanding
output, it just increases the wear on the sanding
sheet .
■
A sanding sheet previously used on metal must
not be used on other materials .

Maintenance and cleaning
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
Disconnect the appliance from the
compressed air supply.
CAUTION!
►
Before maintenance, clean off any hazardous
substances that may (due to working pro
cesses) have accumulated on the appliance .
Avoid all skin contact with these substances .
If the skin comes into contact with hazardous
dusts, this can lead to severe dermatitis . If
dust is produced or swirled up during mainte
nance, it can be inhaled .
NOTE
To ensure correct functioning and longterm
durability of the sander, pay attention to the
following points:
■
Sufficient and continuously intact oil lubrication
is highly important for optimum functioning .
■
Check the speed and vibration levels after each
use .
■
Check the idle speed regularly and after any
maintenance is performed:
use a rev counter and perform the measurement
without any clamped tools . The idle speed may
not be exceeded under any circumstances at a
residual pressure of 6 .3 bar .
