Maintenance And Care - Flex GE 5 Original Operating Instructions

If you stop the sander on the work surface
or move the sander unevenly, this may
result in a disagreeable spiral pattern
of scratches and an uneven work surface.
NOTE
The wall sander features an overload cut-
out for protecting the device.
If the load is too great, the device switches
off and immediately restarts.
