Maintenance; Operation - Ferm ESM1013 Original Instructions Manual

Connecting the dust bag (Fig. D)
It is highly recommended to use the machine with
the dust bag (2), ensuring optimal dust collection.
• Slide the dust bag (2) onto the dust extraction
port (6) using a slight twisting motion.
• Keep sliding in twisting motion until the dust
bag (2) is positioned slightly over the rubber
ring (10), fixing it in place.
Note: The dust bag should be emptied when the
bag is half full to maintain optimal dust collection.
Mounting and removing the sanding paper
(Fig. B)
• Hold the machine on its side or upside down.
• Mount sanding paper (9) with the required grain
size onto the sanding pad (4). Make sure that the
perforation in the sanding paper (9) corresponds
with the perforation on the sanding pad (4).
• To remove the sanding paper (9), simply pull
the sanding paper from the sanding pad (4).
Note: Use coarse sanding paper for sanding
rough, uneven surfaces. Use medium sanding
paper for removing the remaining scratches from
the coarse sanding paper. Use fine sanding paper
for finishing surfaces.

4. OPERATION

Switching on and off (Fig. A)
• To switch on the machine, press the on/off
switch (1) into position I.
• To switch off the machine, press the on/off
switch (1) into position 0.
Setting the speed (Fig. A)
The speed adjustment wheel (3) is used for setting
the speed. The speed adjustment wheel can be
set to 6 positions. The ideal speed depends on
the required grain size and on the material to be
worked.

before putting the machine down.

5. MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning and maintenance,
always switch off the machine and
remove the battery pack from the
machine.
Clean the machine casings regularly with a soft
cloth, preferably after each use. Make sure that
the ventilation openings are free of dust and
dirt. Remove very persistent dirt using a soft
cloth moistened with soapsuds. Do not use any
solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, ammonia,
etc. Chemicals such as these will damage the
synthetic components.
