We recommend using this power tool with
SPARKY vacuum cleaners to achieve optimum
results in collecting the dust generated during
operation.
USING AUXILIARY ACCESSORIES
The power tool is supplied with some auxiliary
accessories to facilitate operation. We recom-
mend their use for operator’s convenience.
1. Clip (23)
This accessory is designed to fix the machine
supply cord to the vacuum cleaner hose. The
combined movement of cord and hose reduces
the risk of injury.
Fix the supply cord to the vacuum cleaner hose
as shown on Fig. 5.
2. Clamp (24)
This accessory is designed for additional fas-
tening of the vacuum cleaner hose to the power
tool.
Mount the clamp (24) by its fixing buttons to a
pair of opposite openings in the side sheets of
the rear handle (5).
Fasten the vacuum cleaner hose into the clamp
as shown on Fig. 6.
As the clamp (24) is intended for a certain type
of hose in some cases the hose may move in the
clamp (24), in other cases it is firmly fastened.
This feature does not affect the power tool us-
age in any way.
SELECTING THE ACCESSORY AND
PREPARATION fOR OPERATION
The selection of accessory depends on the in-
tended operation. Generally the permitted op-
erations with this power tool are the following:
- sanding with sandpaper (37) or abrasive
net (38);
- cleaning with a diamond disc (31);
- polishing with polishing pad (39).
Familiarise yourself with the instructions for
preparation for work with the corresponding ac-
cessory. Perform accurately the described pro-
cedures for mounting, replacement and remov-
ing the corresponding accessories.
SANDING WITH SANDPAPER
The selection of sandpaper depends on the de-
sired surface quality. For rough operations use
sandpaper with larger grit size, and for fine and
finishing operations use sandpaper with smaller
grit size to achieve surface smoothness.
We recommend using original SPARKY acces-
sories specially designed for achieving optimum
results in processed surface quality and im-
proved dust extraction.
Use only hook-and-loop sanding sheets.
Do not use sanding discs with diameter exceed-
ing the maximum permitted for the power tool.
Refer to power tool specifications. The sand
-
paper disc diameter should correspond to the
diameter of set of pads (27) supplied with the
machine!
MOUNTING THE SANDPAPER
The precise and accurate performance of the
below described procedures guarantees the
reliable and safe operation with the power tool.
All instructions are important and result from our
huge experience gained during design and op-
eration of power tools for the described use.
1. Ensure that the power tool is unplugged.
2. Turn the machine in a way ensuring ac
-
cess to the operating tool. We recommend fixing
the machine in stationary position. Thus it would
be possible to use both hands for convenient
and safe assembly.
3. Clean the threaded and face surfaces of
the spindle (25) using soft cloth and brush.
4. Take out the sanding set from the pack-
ing.
5. Clean the flange (26) face surface and
arbour and the set of pads (27) face surfaces
using a soft cloth and brush.
6. Place the flange (26) onto the spindle (25)
observing the orientation shown on Fig. 7.
7. Ensure there is no dirt or foreign body be-
tween the spindle (25) face and the the flange
(26) face which may hamper their contact. The
presence of foreign bodies and disturbed face
contact are prerequisites for inexact movement
of the operating tool and increased vibration
causing unsatisfactory quality of the processed
surface.
8. Mount the set of pads (27) on the flange
(26) and ensure there are no foreign bodies be
-
tween their faces.
9. Fasten the tightening nut (28) to fix the set
of pads (27) to the spindle (25) firmly. It is obliga
-
tory to observe the tightening nut (28) orienta
-
tion as shown on Fig. 7. Otherwise fixing the set
of pads (27) will not be possible.
10. Press the spindle lock button (29) and ro
-
tate the set of pads (27) clockwise until the but
-
ton sinks and locks the spindle (25) movement.
11. Fasten the tightening nut (28) reliably us
-
ing the special spanner (30) supplied with the
machine.
12. Release the spindle lock button (29) and
