3.5 Switching off the machine
To switch off, raise the sanding drum off the floor by actuating the lowering lever and push the red switch
button. Wait until the sanding drum comes to a standstill before replacing the machine down onto the sand-
ing drum.
Never allow the machine to run unattended and always pull the mains plug out of the socket once
you have finished working!
3.6 Emptying the dust bag
ATTENTION!
To avoid fire or explosive damage, always remove the dust bag from the machine following
sanding and empty the contents into a non-combustible container!
Seal this container with a non-combustible cover and always store both the container and the
dust bag in the open!
The dust bag must be emptied when one third full at the latest. Otherwise, suction performance will deterio-
rate as the filter surface becomes clogged.
When emptying the dust bag, a respiratory protection mask P3 must be used.
3.7 Replacement of the sanding drum
Replace the sanding drum when the drum cover is damaged. Open the drum nut using the box wrench.
Caution: Left hand thread!

Application tips
•
It is possible to avoid leaving deep sanding tracks caused by excessively coarse grit size by initially
selecting a fine grit size for the first sanding process.
•
Carry out a test sanding process using a 50 or 60 grit size (a few test strokes). If this test is satisfactory
and you envisage a good sanding result within a reasonable period, it is more efficient to start the sand-
ing work off with these finer grit sizes.
•
You can avoid creating deep sanding tracks with the mentioned grit sizes by adhering to the grit size
sequence and not skipping more than one grit size at a time.
•
After each sanding pass, vacuum the floor thoroughly, and clean the machine's wheels before starting
each new sanding operation.
•
When changing to a new sanding material, always start work in a less well lit area of the room until the
sanding material loses its initial aggressive sanding behaviour.
•
Always sand from left to right. This ensures that the left-hand wheel always runs over the newly sanded
surface, making the surface more even with each sanding pass and preventing waviness.
One sanding pass comprises a forward and reverse movement over the same track without offset.
Avoid a sanding track offset of more than 85%.
