Operation
Starting Operation
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Switching on/off
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
u
without releasing the handle.
To switch on the power tool, press and hold the on/off
switch (2).
To lock the on/off switch (2) press and hold it while also
pushing the lock-on button (3).
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (2).
If the on/off switch (2) is locked, press the switch first and
then release it.
Preselecting the orbital stroke rate
You can even preselect the orbital stroke rate during opera-
tion using the necessary orbital stroke rate preselection
thumbwheel (1).
The required orbital stroke rate is dependent on the material
and the work conditions and can be determined using prac-
tical tests.
Practical advice
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.

bital stroke rate .
Only immaculate sanding sheets achieve good sanding per-
40–320
formance and make the power tool last longer.
Be sure to apply consistent contact pressure in order to in-
crease the lifetime of the sanding sheets.
Excessively increasing the contact pressure will not lead to
