Changing the sanding sheet

Remove dirt and dust from the sanding plate (5), e.g. with a
brush, before attaching a new sanding sheet.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, make sure that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet are aligned with the
drilled holes in the sanding plate.
Sanding sheets with hook-and-loop backing (PSS 200 A/
PSS 250 AE) (see figure A)
The sanding plate (5) is fitted with a hook-and-loop fasten-
ing, allowing sanding sheets with a similar backing to be se-
cured quickly and easily.
Tap the hook-and-loop fastening of the sanding plate (5) be-
fore fitting the sanding sheet (6) to facilitate maximum adhe-
sion.
Position the sanding sheet (6) so that it is flush with one a
side of the sanding plate (5), then place the sanding sheet
on the sanding plate and press it on firmly.
To remove the sanding sheet (6), take hold of it by an edge

Dust/Chip Extraction

The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Self-generated dust extraction with dust box
(see figures C1–C4)
Place the dust box (3) onto the extraction outlet (8) until it
clicks into place.
To empty the dust box (3), pull the dust box downwards.
Before opening the dust box (3), knock the dust box against
a firm surface as shown in the figure to loosen the dust from
the filter element.
Take hold of the dust box (3) by the recessed grip, fold the
filter element (9) upwards out of the way and empty the dust
box. Use a soft brush to clean the flaps of the filter element
(9).
