7.1
Electronics
The machine features full-wave electronics
with the following features:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
ensures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Speed control
The speed reached when the switch
[1-4]
is
pressed all the way in can be set to between
600 and 2100 rpm using the adjusting wheel
[1-2]
. This enables you to optimise the cut-
ting speed to suit the surface (see table).
L The machine is fitted with an accelerator
switch: pressing the on/off switch harder
increases the speed. The speed can be reg-
ulated steplessly between 400 rpm and the
speed preset on the adjusting wheel.
Constant speed
The preselected motor speed remains con-
stant through electronic control to ensure a
uniform cutting speed even when under load.
Temperature cut-out
The machine power supply is limited and the
speed reduced if the motor exceeds a certain
temperature. The machine continues operat-
ing at reduced power to allow the ventilator to
cool the motor quickly. The machine starts up
again automatically once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents permissibly high cur-
rent consumption under extreme overload,
which can lead to a decrease in the motor
speed. The motor immediately restarts after
the load is removed.
7.2
Attaching polishing pads
Only use polishing pads that are suitable for
the maximum speed specified.
The polishing pads M 14 are fitted with a
thread M 14 and are screwed directly onto the
spindle.
Procedure
X
Press the spindle stop
[2-1].
X
Turn the tool spindle
[2-3]
until the spindle
stop engages when pressed and the tool
spindle locks.
X
Screw the polishing pad
[2-2]
onto the tool
spindle or unscrew from the tool spindle.
7.3
Attaching polishing accessories
StickFix is a system that simplifies the attach-
ment of polishing accessories (felt, sponge,
sheepskin) to the polishing pad
[1-7]
where
they are retained by an adhesive coating.
7.4
Attaching the additional handle
The additional handle
[3-1]
can be screwed
onto either the right or left of the gear head.

Working with the machine
Observe the following instructions:
– Do not use the machine when the electron-
ics are faulty because the machine may op-
erate at excessive speeds. An absence of the
smooth start-up function or speed control
indicates that the electronics are faulty.
– Do not overload the machine by pressing
with excessive force! The best polishing re-
sults are achieved with moderate application
pressure. The polishing capacity and quality
are mainly dependent on the selection of the
correct polish.
– Hold the machine with two hands, one on
the motor housing and one on the gear head
or additional handle
[1-6]
to ensure safe
guidance.
L The rubber support points on the
[3-2]
pro-
vide extra stability when the machine is set
down.

Service and maintenance
To ensure constant air circulation, always keep
the cooling air openings in the motor housing
clean and free of blockages.

WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
X
Always disconnect the mains plug from the
socket before performing maintenance
work on the machine!
X
All maintenance and repair work which re-
quires the motor housing to be opened
must only be carried out by an authorised
service workshop.
