External extraction system:
Fit dust extraction nozzle (see chapter on
Accessories). Connect a suitable extraction device.
Use a suction hose with a 35 mm connector
diameter. See Accessories section.
7. Cleaning, Maintenance
Empty dust collection box (4).
- Open cleaning flap (5).
- Empty dust collection box (4).
- Remove fluted filter (6) and knock off dust stuck to
filter or remove with brush.
- When inserting, ensure that the fluted filter (6) is
inserted in the lateral guides.
Clean the machine regularly. This includes
vacuum cleaning the ventilation louvres on the
motor.
Replacing a worn support plate (2)
- Remove fixing screws (on lower side of support
plate).
- Remove support plate.
- For replacement support plates, refer to the
Accessories chapter.
- Mount support plate.
- Refit fixing screws (on lower side of support plate)
and tighten.
Replacing support plate brake / braking ring
If the idling speed of the support plate increases in
the course of time, the braking ring is worn and must
be replaced in a service workshop for Metabo
power tools.
Note: If abrasive material (e.g. gypsum, etc.) is
being sanded, the braking ring inevitably wears
faster.
8. Tips and Tricks
Do not press the device too firmly against the
surface being sanded. This does not improve, but
rather impairs, the sanding performance.
To optimise the extraction performance, empty the
dust collection box (4) in good time and clean the
fluted filter (6).
Use a suitable sanding disc to achieve the best
possible work results:
Removal of old paint layers = P 40
Pre-sanding of wood = P 60, P 80
Finishing of wood = P 100, P 120
Sanding of veneers, sealing primer, filler,
paint = P 180, P 240
9. Accessories
Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
If you need any accessories, check with your
dealer.
For dealers to select the correct accessory, they
need to know the exact model designation of your
power tool.
