happen especially if the wood dust has paint
particles on it or is mixed with other chemical
substances and the sanded material is hot after
extensive working. You should therefore avoid
overheating of products being sanded as well as
the appliance and always empty the dust collection
box
4 or the dust bag of the vacuum cleaner
before work pauses.
Wear a dust mask!
Vacuuming dust with the dust
collection box
Attach the dust collection box
j Slide the dust collection box 4 onto the
adapter 5 on the rear of the appliance.
Remove the dust collection box
j Press the release button 3 and pull the dust
collection box 4 off the appliance.
Note: Always empty the dust collection box 4
in due time and shake any remaining dust out; this
will ensure optimal vacuum performance.
Attaching the dust removal device to an
external vacuum:
When using a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust,
slide the suction hose of an appropriate vacuum
cleaner (e.g. industrial vacuum cleaner) into the
adapter
5 – see Fig. D.
Note: If necessary, use the reducer 12 and insert
it into the adapter 5 .
Removing:
j Pull the hose from the adapter 5 , or from the
reducer 12 , as the case might be.
Instructions, tips and tricks
j Always hold the appliance firmly with two
hands while working (see also Fig. D, E).
j Move the oscillating sander parallel, in flat
circles or alternating between lengthwise and
side-to-side motions.
j Do not press down with the oscillating sander.
The sanding pads become clogged, which
reduces the sanding performance.
j Clean the sanding pad 9 occasionally with
the vacuum cleaner.
j The removal performance and therefore the
result of your work are determined by the correct
selection of the speed and sanding pad
9 grit.
j Never sand different materials with the same
sanding pad 9 (e.g. wood then metal).
The following table offers some values, which are
for information only and may simplify the selection
of a sanding pad
