Starting Operation
- Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the power tool.
- Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current of 30 mA or less.
You can even preselect the orbital stroke rate during operation using the necessary orbital stroke rate preselection thumbwheel (1).
1–2 | Low orbital stroke rate |
3–4 | Medium orbital stroke rate |
5–6 | High orbital stroke rate |
The required orbital stroke rate is dependent on the material and the work conditions and can be determined using practical tests.
The Constant Electronic keeps the oscillation speed at no load and under load virtually consistent, guaranteeing uniform performance.
After working at a low orbital stoke rate for an extended period, you should operate the power tool at the maximum orbital stroke rate for approximately three minutes without load to cool it down.
Two operating modes with different material removal rates are available. For coarse sanding, push the mode selector switch (14) forward; for fine sanding, push the mode selector switch (14) backward until you hear it click into place.
- Do not change the operating mode while sanding! This poses a risk of injury.
Coarse Sanding Operating Mode (Positive Drive Control)
This operating mode has a very high sanding removal rate and is recommended for machining extremely rough and non-sensitive surfaces, as well as for rough polishing. The positive drive control of the sanding pad achieves a consistent eccentric and rotational movement.
Fine Sanding Operating Mode (Free Running)
This operating mode is recommended for handling sensitive surfaces, as well as for fine polishing. The free running of the sanding pad achieves a rotational movement that is dependent on the contact pressure with a constant eccentric movement. In addition, the sanding removal rate can be varied by changing the contact pressure.
