This tool has an automatic brake system.
When the tool is not on the work surface, this
feature keeps the speed of the disc below the
speed of the motor. When the tool is switched
off, the disc will stop very quickly.

Dust Collection

WARNING: Collected sanding dust from
sanding surface coatings (polyurethane,
linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite in sander dust
canister or elsewhere and cause fire. To
reduce risk, empty canister frequently and
strictly follow sander manual and coating
manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION: When working on metal
surfaces, do not use the dust canister or a
vacuum cleaner because sparks are
generated. Wear safety glasses and a
dustmask. Due to the danger of fire, do not
use your sander to sand magnesium
surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
Emptying the dust canister (fig. J )
The dust canister should be emptied every 10
minutes of use.
• Remove the cover (18) by twisting it
counterclockwise and pulling it straight off.
• Hold the sander with the filter (19) facing
down and shake the canister to empty the
contents. Shake the cover to empty the
contents.
• Refit the cover (18) onto the dust canister,
twisting it clockwise until it locks into place.

Hints for optimum use
• For user comfort, the tool can be operated
with two hands or one (figs. L & M). Do not
place your hands over the ventilation slots.
• Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the
sanding sheet. Replace when necessary.
• Always sand with the grain of the wood.
• When sanding new layers of paint before
applying another layer, use extra fine grit.
• On very uneven surfaces, or when
removing layers of paint, start with a coarse
grit. On other surfaces, start with a medium
grit. In both cases, gradually change to a
fine grit for a smooth finish.
