chanical polishing, sawing, grinding and drilling, to-
gether with other construction activities, contain
chemical agents which are known to cause cancer,
congenital and other similar defects. Some examples
of the chemical agents are given below: the lead in
lead-based paint, crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products, and also arse-
nic and chromium from chemically treated wood. The
risk deriving from this type of exposure varies and
depends on the frequency with which this type of
work is carried out. In order to reduce exposure to
these chemical agents: work in a well ventilated area
and work with approved safety equipment, such as
face masks which are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
This polisher has been designed to polish all types of
construction and industrial surfaces.
BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
Before using the tool, make sure the mains voltage is
correct: it must be the same as that on the specification
label. Machines with 230V can also be connected to a
220-V mains supply.
FITTING SAFETY DEVICES
WARNING! Always unplug the machine before carrying
out work on it.
Use of the auxiliary handle is obligatory in order to ensure
greater control and safety when handling the tool.
FITTING THE ACCESSORIES (DISCS AND WHEELS)
WARNING! For safety reasons, the machine should
always be unplugged from the mains before changing
the disc or wheel. Always wear safety goggles.
WARNING! Never press the blocking button when the
machine is running. The shaft must have stopped com-
pletely before the blocking button is pressed.
To assemble the Velcro plate, proceed in the following
manner (Fig.1):
1. Block the spindle (shaft), by pressing the blocking
button C.
2. With hexagonal key, unscrew screw I (Fig.2) and
remove the washer.
3. Position the Velcro plate.
4. Replace the washer and screw on the screw with the
help of the hexagonal key.
5. Once the disc is fitted, check that the blocking button
has returned to its original position due to movement
of the incorporated spring.
STARTING THE TOOL
WARNING! Check that the mains voltage is the same as
that in the machine's specifications.
Plug the machine in with the switch off.
Start the machine by turning the switch A to position
"ON". To switch off, do the same in reverse.
Constant electronic performance and speed adjustment
The built-in module enables soft start and for the rated
speed to be maintained practically constant until the
rated power is reached.
The electronic speed regulator enables the speed to
be set to different positions from 1 to 6. The most
appropriate speed should be selected according to the
part to be polished.
PRECAUTION: The speed regulator can only be turned
to position 6 and then be returned to position 1. It must
never be forced beyond 6 or 1, since this could cause
damage to the machine.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use the sander without the abrasive disk.
To dry sand walls
Turn on the sander.
Place the sander lightly on the work area.
Apply only the pressure necessary to maintain the
abrasive disk flat against the work area.
Maintain the movement of the sander while the disk is in
contact with the work area. Use constant and broad
movements.
Attention: do not let the spinning disk touch sharp
protrusions, screws, nails, etc., because they could
cause damage.
Use sandpaper discs which are suitable for the surface
to be worked and the required results.
PRECAUTION: During polisher operation, the electri-
cal cable should always be kept behind to prevent it
being trapped.
DUST EXTRACTION
WARNING! Always make sure that the tool is switched
off and unplugged before fitting or removing any dust
extraction device.
Dust extraction keeps the workplace clean, prevents
dust build-up in the air and facilitates waste elimination.
These sanders are provided with a dust aspiration
output which adapts to a universal vacuum or any other
dust aspiration device.
CAUTION: Always use an aspiration extractor designed
according to the guidelines applicable to dust emission.
The flexible hoses of conventional vacuum cleaners fit
directly onto the dust extraction nozzle.
The aspirator should be suitable for the material being
worked.
A special aspirator must be employed in those cases
where dry harmful or carcinogenic dust is produced.
