OPERATION
Uses
This orbital sander is only intended for dry sanding, and with the right type of sandpaper can be used for
sanding wood, metal and plastic, as well as putty and other fillers. It can also be used for intermediate
sanding stages and the removal of rust and old coats of paint.
Safety
Only use the machine for dry sanding. It is not intended for wet sanding.
Inhalation of sanding dust and other dust is harmful to health. Always use equipment for dust
extraction.
Take care to align the openings in the sanding paper with the suction openings in the machine's
sanding pad.
Do not apply any additional pressure while you are sanding. The machine's own weight is
sufficient.

Fitting sandpaper
Switch off the machine and disconnect it from the power outlet.
Trim the edges of the sandpaper, see figure 2.
Release the clamps (5) holding the sandpaper in place, see figure 3.
Position the sandpaper tightly over the sanding pad (6) and ensure that the suction openings (4) in
the sanding pad and sandpaper are aligned.
Fold in protruding sandpaper and secure the sandpaper with the clamps (5).
Dust extraction
The orbital sander is equipped with a dust extraction system. Connection the suction pipe of a
vacuum cleaner to the machine's suction connection (7). Use the supplied adapter (8) if
necessary. Always use the machine with dust extraction activated.
Sanding
Start the machine and the dust extraction. Move the machine over the work surface with gentle, elliptical

with increasingly finer sandpaper.
