Metabo SXE 400 Original Operating Instructions page 11

6. Initial Operation
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.
6.1 Installation of sanding disc
Simple attachment and removal thanks to the
velcro-type fastening.
Simply press on the sanding sheet so that the holes
in the sanding sheet (1) are aligned with the sanding
plate (2).
7. Use
7.1 Dust extraction
To optimise the dust extraction performance, fit the
sanding disc (1) so that the holes on the sanding
disc are aligned to the sanding plate (2).
Connect a suitable extraction device. Use a suction
hose with a 35 mm connector diameter.
7.2 Setting the oscillating frequency
The oscillating frequency can also be set during
operation by turning the adjustment wheel (6).
The best way to determine the ideal setting is
through a practical trial.
7.3 Switching On and Off
Switching on:
Move switch (5) to "I" position.
Switching off:
Move switch (5) to "O" position.
8. Cleaning, Maintenance
Empty clogged dust channel (9) (see page 2
fig. A)
- Loosen the screw with hexagon spanner (7).
- Remove dust channel (9) and empty.
- Insert dust channel (9).
- Insert screw with hexagon spanner and tighten.
Clean the machine regularly. This includes
vacuum cleaning the ventilation louvres on the
motor.
Replace worn sanding plate (2) (see page 2 fig.
B)
- Remove fixing screw (on the underside of the
sanding plate (2)).
- Remove sanding plate (2).
- Put new sanding plate (2) in place (when putting in
position, turn sanding plate (2) until it engages on
the flattened bits of the carrier disc).
- Refit fixing screw (on the bottom side of the
sanding plate (2)) and tighten.
Readjust braking ring (4) (see page 3 fig. C)
When the braking force decreases, the braking ring
(4) can be readjusted. Loosen the screw and push
the braking ring (4) forward to the sanding plate (2)
until light contact is established. Tighten the screw
again.
Replace braking ring (see page 3 fig. D)
To change the worn braking ring (4) remove the
sanding plate (2), remove the tensioning band, (3)
remove the old braking ring (4) and put on the new
one until the stop. Refit the tightening band (3) and
sanding plate (2).
Note: If abrasive material (e.g. gypsum, etc.) is
being sanded, the braking ring inevitably wears
faster.
