GE 6 R-EC/GE 6 X-EC
If the brush ring is damaged or shows excessive wear, it should
be replaced (see section entitled "Maintenance and care"). Re-
placement brush rings are availa-ble from any FLEX customer
service centre.
Sanding in dry construction
The wall sander features a unique swivel head. As this head
can swivel in different directions, the sanding head can be ad-
justed to the work surface.
As a result, the user can sand the upper, middle and lower wall
areas or ceiling profiles without having to change his position.
When working, apply only as much pressure as is required to
keep the sanding plate in contact with the work surface. Exces-
sive pressure may result in a disagreeable spiral pattern of
scratches and an uneven work surface.
Move the sander constantly while the sanding plate is in con-
tact with the work surface. In doing so, ensure that you move
the sander evenly and over a wide area.
If you stop the sander on the work surface or move the sander
unevenly, this may result in a disagreeable spiral pattern of
scratches and an uneven work surface.
NOTE
The wall sander features an overload cutout for protecting the
device. If the load is too great, the device switches off and
immediately restarts.
