Mount the grip before using the cylinder sander.
It helps you to guide the tool exactly parallel to
the surface. You also need to fi t a sanding or
satin-fi nishing tool.
Moreover, please check the device and the san-
ding or satin-fi nishing tools for any visible wear
prior to every use!
Always ensure your own safety! Despite its
compact size, the WAS/A cylinder sander is
an electric tool that harbours a certain level of
risk. Always ensure that the battery is removed
when checking the device, during cleaning or
when changing the operational tools!

7 Working with the device:

• Never work without dust protection mask and
safety glasses. Some dusts have a hazardous
effect! Materials containing asbestos may not
be machined!
• Do not work with damaged tools!
• Ensure the work piece is fi xed securely! Loo-
se work pieces should be clamped in a sui-
table fi xture. This prevents the work pieces
from fl ying about.
• A correct and uniform speed achieves a high
performance, not excessive contact pressu-
re! Excessive pressure is to be avoided: it
only stresses the device and can even dama-
ge the bits and cutters!
• Hold the device without covering the ventila-
tion slots. If it overheats, you absolutely must
shut off the device and allow it to cool down.
Warning!
Do ensure that the sanding or satin-fi nishing
tool is in a fault-free condition and is neither
worn nor damaged. Worn or damaged sanding/
satin-fi nishing tools may result in parts brea-
king off and fl ying about. This could result in
injuries.
Firstly switch on the tool before using it to sand
down and satin-fi nish the work piece. Start with
a low rotational speed to check the effect on
the surface. Then keep increasing the rotational
speed until optimum work results are obtained.
