WHEEL ADJUSTMENTS GECKO STAR 2.0 or 2.0 (R) Note! The best sanding results along with optimum machine control are achieved if the sanding attachment is set up such that approx. 1/3 of the sanding disc is in firm contact with the floor.
Thus there is enough time available to find the correct grip position. Steps: 1. Tip the GECKO STAR 2.0 rearwards so that the sanding attachment is lifted off the floor. 2. Turn the machine on with the switch located at the top of the machine.

Make sure that the GECKO STAR 2.0 is constantly moving when sanding!

The design of the machine will allow for efficient sanding close to the wall.
