Working Advice
- Before carrying out any work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, tool change etc.), remove the battery from the power tool. There is risk of injury from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
- Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down.
- This power tool is not suitable for bench-mounted use. It must not be clamped into a vice or fastened to a workbench, for example.
Select the speed with which you intend to sand the workpiece.
Place the power tool with the entire sanding surface against the surface of the workpiece, then turn it on and apply moderate pressure as you move the sander over the workpiece.
Observe the notes of the sanding material (dry or wet sanding).
Only immaculate sanding sheets achieve good sanding performance and make the power tool last longer.
Be sure to apply consistent contact pressure in order to increase the lifetime of the sanding sheets.
Excessively increasing the contact pressure will not lead to increased sanding performance; rather, it will cause more severe wear of the power tool and premature failure of the sanding plate.
Attach a fine grit sanding sheet.
You can reduce the sanding plate orbital stroke rate by lightly varying the contact pressure or changing the orbital stroke rate level; the random orbit motion will be retained.
Applying moderate pressure, move the power tool over the surface of the workpiece, either in a circular motion or alternating between crossways and lengthways. To avoid sanding through the workpiece, e.g. lacquers, do not tilt the power tool.
Switch the power tool off after completing operation.
