Note: the perfect PLANEX LHS 225 setup not only depends on the material being machined, but also on the local ambient
conditions such as the surface type, air humidity, working approach of the user, etc.
These sanding recommendations are only guidelines. Always test the setup of the PLANEX LHS 225 at the working location.
These optimisation guidelines do not replace the operating manual supplied with the machine!
