To install the vacuum cleaner hose: First remove the standard end from your vacuum cleaner hose (not included) then thread on the Bayonet Adaptor End (provided) to your existing vacuum cleaner hose. Plug the Bayonet Adaptor into the swivel mount in the back of the machine.
Adjusting the rotation speed: The speed of the machine is variable to suit different Speed Adjustment tasks. It can be adjusted from 650/min up to 1300/ min by using the thumb wheel. Using the right thumb, turn to the right to increase the speed and to the left to decrease the speed.
SANDING OPERATIONS Once the machine and vacuum cleaner are set up and all safety measures and equipment are in place, begin by turning on the vacuum cleaner and then the machine. (If you are using a vacuum cleaner with integrated switching, then simply turn the machine on.) Begin sanding and carefully contact the work surface as lightly as possible-just enough to keep the sanding head flat against the surface.
