Assembly



Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains 
plug.

Dust/Chip Extraction



Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings, 
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to 
one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause 
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of 
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered 
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials 
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable 

for the material.

– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.

Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the mate-
rials to be worked.



Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. 

Dusts can 

easily ignite.

Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Box 
(see figures G1 – G4)

Attach the dust box 

4

 onto the extraction outlet 

12

 until it 

latches.

To empty the dust box 

4

, pull off the dust box downward.

Before opening the dust box 

4

, it is recommended to loosen 

the dust from the filter element by gently striking it against a 
firm support (as shown in the figure).

Grasp the dust box 

4

 by the recessed grip, fold the filter ele-

ment 

13

 upward and empty the dust box. Clean the thin 

plates of the filter element 

13

 with a soft brush.

External Dust Extraction (see figure H)

Mount a vacuum hose 

14

 onto the extraction outlet 

12

. Con-

nect the vacuum hose 

14

 with a vacuum cleaner. An overview 

for the connection of various vacuum cleaners can be found at 
the end of these instructions.

The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being 
worked.

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to 
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.

Replacing the Sanding Sheet

When attaching a new sanding sheet, remove any dust or de-
bris from the sanding plate 

6

 (e. g. with a brush).

To ensure optimum dust extraction, pay attention that the 
punched holes in the sanding sheet match with the holes in 
the sanding plate.

Sanding Sheets with Velcro Backing (see figure A)

The sanding plate 

6

 is fitted with Velcro backing for quick and 

easy fastening of sanding sheets with Velcro adhesion.

Before attaching the sanding sheet 

7

, free the Velcro backing 

of the sanding plate 

6

 from any debris by tapping against it in 

order to enable optimum adhesion.

Position the sanding sheet 

7

 flush alongside one edge of the 

sanding plate 

6

, then lay the sanding sheet onto the sanding 

plate and press firmly.

To remove the sanding sheet 

7

, grasp it at one of the tips and 

pull it off from the sanding plate 

6

.
