6. Commissioning
Before plugging in, check that the rated mains
voltage and mains frequency, as stated on the
type plate match your power supply.
Always install an RCD with a maximum trip
current of 30 mA upstream.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
6.1 Shorten or extend handle bar (LSV 5-
225 Comfort)
Mount max. 2 handles (extensions).
Disassemble handle bar
See figure A.
1. Lift locking bow (6)
2. Swivel the hook holder (7) downwards.
3. Pull apart the handle bars (8).
See figure A.
Assemble handle bars
See figure B.
1. Put together (8) the handle bars as shown.
2. Swivel the hook holder upwards (7) until the
stop.
3. Fold the locking bow (6) downwards until it
touches the handle bar.
4. Check for secure connection. If the handle bars
cannot be connected securely, the tension has
to be adjusted. See chapter maintenance.
6.2 Installation of sanding sheet
Sanding sheet with velcro-type fastening
Simple attachment and removal thanks to the
velcro-type fastening. Simply press on the sanding
sheet so that the holes in the sanding sheet (2) are
aligned with the support plate (1).
6.3 Dust extraction
To optimise the dust extraction performance, fit the
sanding sheet (2) so that the holes on the sanding
sheet are aligned to the support plate (1).
For optimum vacuum power turn the brush rim as
shown (until the stop): brush rim (3) and rubber lip
(4) completely encompass the support plate (1) .
One can also tell the ideal position when the
machine is standing vertically on the handle and the
guide edge (5) points directly down.
Connect a suitable extraction device to the extractor
connection piece (14).
We recommend using an antistatic suction hose
Ø 35 mm.
When sanding prepared surfaces with high dust
generation we recommend using an all-purpose
vacuum cleaner with automatic filter cleaning for
continuous use (e.g. ASR 35 L ACP, ASR 35 M
ACP).
Note: the bush 316062390 is particularly suited as
it is secured against slipping with a bayonet closure.
Fix the bush 316062390 to the extraction hose as
follows: Remove the bush of the suction hose from
the suction hose (left-hand thread) and fix special
bush (left-hand thread).
6.4 Sanding near edges
When sanding near edges turn the brush rim (3) in
such a way that the support edge (5) can be guided
along the workpiece edge.
7. Use
Use only in assembled state. Do not switch on
the machine if tool parts are missing or
defective.
7.1 Switching on/off of the machine
After switching off the machine, only place it
down when the motor has come to a standstill.
Switch the machine on/off at the switch (11) .
I = On
0 = Off
First switch on the machine and then bring the
sanding plate to the work surface.
If the requirements for the quality of the sanding
result are very high, we recomment to first bring the
sanding plate to the work surface and then switch
on the machine.
7.2 Setting speed
Set the speed at the setting wheel (12). This can
also be done during operation.
The best way to determine the ideal setting is
through a practical trial.
Rule of thumb: the softer the material, the lower the
speed.
7.3 Switching on / off of the LED light
Use the switch (10) to switch the LED ligth (9) on or
off.
(The LED light is on only when the motor is running.)
I = On
0 = Off
