This Electric Plasterboard Sander is specially designed for the most efficient sanding of plasterboard
or plaster walls and ceilings for both new construction and renovation work. It is designed to work in
conjunction with a vacuum cleaner for minimum dust and best sanding results. The pivoting sanding
head allows excellent results with minimum time and effort.
Electrical connection
The network voltage must conform to the voltage indicated on the tool name plate. Under no
circumstances should the tool be used when the power supply cable is damaged. A damaged cable
must be replaced immediately by an authorized Customer Service Center. Do not try to repair the
damaged cable yourself. The use of damaged power cables can lead to an electric shock.
Extension cable
If an extension cable is required, it must have a sufficient cross-section so as to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead to failure
of the motor. The following table shows you the correct cable diameter as a function of the cable length
for this machine. Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cables. Never use two extension cables
together. Instead, use one long one.
