6. TURNING ON THE MACHINE
AND ELECTRONIC REGULATION
To turn the machine on, press button "A" and then
activate switch "B" at the front, if necessary (Fig. 1).
To unlock the switch press on the button “X”.
This tool has electronic speed control, allowing you
to work at the ideal speed for each surface and
type of disc.
To regulate the speed, adjust button "C" to the desired
working speed (Fig. 1).
7. CHANGING THE ABRASIVE DISC
Disconnect the machine from the mains
before carrying out any maintenance
operation.
Use the spanners (as shown in Fig. 2) to undo the
securing plate. Replace the disc and carry out the
same operations in reverse order.
8. MAINTENANCE OF THE BRUSHES
AND THE COLLECTOR
Disconnect the machine from the mains
before carrying out any maintenance
work.
Change the brushes when they are a minimum of
9 mm long.
Changing the brushes.
Remove cover "F" by undoing the five screws "G"
that hold it in place (Fig. 3).
Use small screwdriver "I" to remove brush holder "H".
Put the screwdriver into one of the two slots and
use it as a lever. Move the end of spring "J" back.
Holding it in this position, remove used brush "K"
and replace it with a new original VIRUTEX brush.
Put the brush holder back in place, ensuring that
it fits snugly into the carcass and that each of the
brushes press gently on the collector. The position
of the connection terminal of the brush in the brush
holder is shown on the carcass of the machine with
the symbol "L" to facilitate replacement.
Ensure that when the cover is replaced, the clamps
of the brush holder do not pinch the cable.
Screw cover "F" back into place.
We advise that you leave the machine on but with-
out using it for 15 minutes so that the brushes can
self-adjust.
If you observe any burning or pro-
truding of the collector, take it to a
VIRUTEX technical service outlet to be
repaired. Never use emery paper for
this operation.
9. SIDE HANDGRIP
When working with vertical surfaces, we recom-
mend holding the machine with the side handgrip
"M" (Fig. 4) to ensure stability. To do this, screw the
handgrip firmly into the appropriate hole in the
machine head "P".
If handgrip "M" cannot be fitted into the housing
correctly due to the size of the disk, it must by fitted
