WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
Always pull the mains plug out of the socket before performing any type of work on the machine!
Electronics
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up ensures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control. This means that, if the
machine is used as intended (reasonable contact
pressure), a constant sanding speed is achieved.
Setting and adjusting the speed
The speed can be set

WARNING
Dust hazard
Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work
with a dust extractor.
Always read applicable national regulations before extracting hazardous dust.

As standard, the sanders are equipped with an integral dust extractor. The sanding dust is extracted
through extraction openings in the sanding pad and
is collected in the dust bag.
Installing the dust bag [5]
Slide the dust bag adapter onto the extractor
connection piece.
Slide the dust bag onto the adapter until it clicks
into place.
