7.1 Fitting the PLANEX

Hold the sanding head [1-1] with the sand-
•
ing pad facing downwards.
If closed, release the clamping levers [2-1]
•
and [2-2].
Slide the extension pipe [1-2] into the open-
•

•
tainer as illustrated in [3].
Press the contact slide down until it latches
•
into position.
Insert the handle section [1-3] at the same
•
time.
If you wish to use the PLANEX for sand-

reduce the length of the machine by fi t-
ting the sanding head [1-1] directly to the
handle section [1-3].
When disassembling the machine, do not
forget to press the button [3-1] to release
the contact slide before opening clamping
levers [2-1] and [2-2].

7.2 Electronics

The machine features full-wave electronics
with the following properties:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
function ensures that the machine starts up
smoothly.
Speed control
You can regulate the rotational speed step-
lessly between 310 and 920 rpm using the
adjusting wheel [5-1]. This enables you to
optimise the cutting speed to suit the respec-
tive material.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed remains con-
stant through electronic control. This en-

chine and the grinding disk is ground in
during the fi rst few minutes after the disk
has been changed. During this time, the
r.p.m. of the machine is slightly lower and
white foam particles form during the grind-
ing process. However, they do not damage
the machine.

Compatible StickFix sanding discs are quick
and easy to attach to the StickFix sanding
pad. Simply press the self-adhesive sanding
discs [1-4] onto the sanding pad [6-2]. The
adhesive coating holds the StickFix sanding
pad securely in position. Make sure that the
sanding disc holes line up with the suction
holes [7-3]. Tear off the sanding disc when
worn.
7.5 Adjusting the internal/external
You can switch between internal and exter-
nal extraction depending on the size of the
particles produced by the sanding process.
