The Brush Bristles on the edge of the Sanding Plate Cover:
The brush bristles on the edge of the Sanding Plate Cover help the efficiency of the
dust collection by the vacuum cleaner. These brush bristles will wear with continued
use.
The Sanding Plate Cover should be replaced when the bristles are too worn to
ensure effective dust collection and stabilization of the sanding head.
To replace the cover, follow these steps:
Ensure that the machine is unplugged. Press the spindle lock
and rotate the sanding plate until the lock engages. Then
Rotate the sanding plate counterclockwise to remove.
Then, press the cover down against the spring and, using
snap-ring pliers, remove the circlip which holds the sanding
plate cover to the gearbox.
Finally, carefully work the vacuum hose free then lift sanding
plate cover away.
Replacement is the opposite of removal. Don’t forget the
spring. Entrust all repairs to an authorized service center.
