6.1 Before using the tool for the first time

- Insert plug-in nipple (7).

6.2 Installation of sanding disc

Simple attachment and removal thanks to the 

Velcro-type fastening. 

Simply press on the sanding disc such that the 

holes in the sanding disc (1) are aligned with the 

support plate (2).
Use a suitable sanding disc to achieve the best 

possible work results: Removal of old paint layers = 

P 40

Pre-sanding of wood = P 60, P 80

Finishing of wood = P 100, P 120

Sanding of veneers, sealing primer, filler, paint = P 

180, P 240, P 320, P 400

6.3 Dust extraction

External dust extraction: 

fit a suitable dust extractor to the extractor connec-

tion piece (5).

6.4 Using the air tool

To maximise the air tool's performance, always use 

compressed air hoses with an inner diameter of at 

least 10 mm and a maximum length of 10 m. Tool 

performance can be significantly impaired if the 

inner hose diameter is too small or if the hose is too 

long.

Caution. 

The compressed air line must not 

contain any water condensation.

Caution. 

To preserve and extend the service 

life of this tool, you must ensure that it is regu-

larly maintained with pneumatic oil lubricator. You 

can do this as follows: 
– Use oiled compressed air by fitting an oil-fog lu-

bricator. 

– Without an oil-fog lubricator: manually apply oil 

every day via the compressed air connection. 

Use approx. 3-5 drops of pneumatic oil lubricator 

for each 15 minutes of continuous operation.

If the tool has not been in use for several days, you 

should manually apply about 5 drops of pneumatic 

oil lubricator into the compressed air connection.

Caution. 

Only allow the tool to run at idle 

speed for a brief period. 

1. Fit a suitable sanding disc (1) (see Section 6.2).
2. Connect a suitable dust extractor to the extrac-

tion connection piece (5). (See Section 6.3).

3. Adjust the supply pressure (this is measured at 

the air outlet while the air tool is switched on). 

For details of the maximum permissible supply 

pressure, see the section on "Technical Specifi-

cations". 

4. Connect the air tool to the compressed air sup-

ply. 

5. To switch on: press switch (3).

Adjust the rotational speed on the setting wheel 

(5). 

Adjust the rotational speed on the speed regu-

lator (4). (The best way to determine the ideal 

setting is through a practical trial).

To switch off: release switch (3).

6. Do not press the device too firmly against the 

surface being sanded. This does not improve, 

but rather impairs, the sanding performance.

.

Danger! 

Disconnect the compressed air con-

nection before carrying out any work.

Danger! 

Repair and maintenance work other 

than the work described in this section should 

only be carried out by 

qualified specialists

.

- Carry out regular maintenance to ensure the 

safety of the air tool.

- Check that all screw fittings are seated securely, 

and tighten if necessary. 

- Clean the filter in the compressed air connection 

at least once a week. 

- It is recommended that you install a pressure 

reducer with an air-water separator and lubricator 

upstream of the air tool.

- If a large amount of air or oil is escaping, check the 

air tool and have it maintained if necessary. (See 

Section 9.)

- Check the rotational speed regularly and after 

every use. Also carry out a simple check on vibra-

tion emission.

- Avoid contact with dangerous substances that 

have accumulated on the tool. Wear suitable 

personal protective equipment and take appro-

priate measures to remove any dangerous 

substances before maintenance.

Replacing a worn support plate

- Push the open end wrench (8) between the rubber 

sleeve and supporting disc (2) on the retaining 

nut.

- Unscrew the old supporting disc (2) in an counter-

clockwise direction, bracing it with the open end 

wrench (8).

- Screw the new supporting disc (2) tightly in a 

clockwise direction, bracing it with the open end 

wrench (8).
