CHANGING THE SANDING BELT 4.2 CHANGING THE SANDING BELT Depending on the type of sanding process you wish to perform, different abrasive grit sizes can be selected. In order to change the abrasive, proceed as follows: Switch off the machine. Pull the mains plug out of the socket before performing any work at the machine! Fig.
REGULATING THE SANDING DRUM PRESSURE 4.3 REGULATING THE SANDING DRUM PRESSURE The lever can be used to set three different drum pressure stages. These three stages - COARSE / MEDIUM / FINE - are designated on the notch plate as -GROB / MITT. / FEIN- (Fig. 16). The pressure stage indications relate to the grit size sequence.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE Transport and storage 5.1 DISMANTLING THE MACHINE For transportation, the machine can be dismantled into three parts: Guide tube, motor and machine housing. All parts must be adequately secured against slipping while being transported in the delivery van etc. During manual transport over roads and pavements, to protect the wheels and sanding drum, use the TransCart (for Art.
Fig. 20 Remove the suction V-belt. 5.2 ASSEMBLY AFTER TRANSPORTATION When assembling the HUMMEL after transport, adhere to the fol- lowing sequence of work steps: Place the motor in the motor bearing bracket and tighten the motor nuts.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance Periodically but at the latest when you notice that damage has oc- curred, a variety of maintenance procedures have to be performed. For this work, use exclusively original spare parts from LÄGLER. Work in a clean, well lit location and proceed in accordance with these instructions.

CLEANING AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS 6.1.1 THE DRIVE UNIT The drive unit should be removed and cleaned at least once a week if the machine is used every day. The drive unit is removed using the following procedure: Switch the machine off and pull the mains plug out of the socket! Ensure that the sanding drum is raised off the floor.
LUBRICATION 6.2 LUBRICATION For general upkeep of the machine, after around 100 operating hours we recommend sparing lubrication of the two lubrication nipples at the wheel bearings using a manual grease gun (tool kit) using ball bearing grease. IMPORTANT In newer models, this lubrication point has been replaced by a self- lubricating plastic bushing.
CHECKING THE MACHINE SETTING Always set the belt tracking using a sanding belt with as fine a grit size as possible (= flexible belt). This is because the more flexible the sanding belt, the precisely it is possible to set the tensioning roller.
Page 20
CHECKING THE MACHINE SETTING For setting, first take the actual position of the adjustable wheel using the setting fixture. Position the fixture against the machine housing in such a way that it rests not only against the machine housing on both sides, but also at the adjust- able wheel.
CHECKING THE DUST PICK-UP 6.5 CHECKING THE DUST PICK-UP In order to guarantee optimum dust pick-up for your safety and that of others, the following points must be observed: • Always used original LÄGLER dust bags. • Never use damaged dust bags. •...

EXCHANGING THE TENSIONING ROLLER If the sanding drum is too stiff to move, use a wooden lever (see Fig. 41) to dislodge it, so as not to damage the machine. Never attempt to loosen the sanding drum by hitting with a hammer! Clean the shaft stump and oil it slightly.
