Sanding
1. Position the entire sanding surface on the piece of work
2. Switch the machine on and guide it over the surface to be sanded using circular motions. Do not apply additional pressure to the machine when sanding, the
weight of the machine itself is usually sufficient to ensure optimum revolutions and a good result. Do not tip! Complete several sanding processes using sand
paper that gradually gets finder.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION! Before performing any care or maintenance work, disconnect from the power. Use a dry brush to clean the dust extraction openings. Clean the hous-
ing with a damp cloth only — do not use solvents! Then dry well. Remove the dust collection bag from the plastic section to empty. Empty carefully, try not to
create dust. Do not breathe in saw dust! Wash out the bag in cold soapy water and allow drying. Before each use, check the machine, the cable and accessories
to ensure that they are not damaged. Have any necessary repairs completed by a specialist. Machines that no longer function properly should be disposed off
correctly in accordance with the local regulations.
