Replacing the Sanding Plate
(see figure F)
The sanding plate 10 can be replaced, if required.
Unscrew the 6 screws 17 completely and remove
the sanding plate 10. Attach the new sanding
plate 10 and tighten the screws again.
Specialty Sanding Plates
You can replace the supplied sanding plate 10
with a specialty sanding plate, which is available
as an accessory.
The specialty sanding plate is attached in the
same manner as the one supplied.
Attach and remove the respective sanding sheets
in the same manner as when changing original
sanding sheets.
Extended Sanding Plate, Rectangular, Thin
(GSS 230 A/GSS 230 AE) (see figure G)
Use of the rectangular, thin, extended sanding
plate 18 enables sanding at hard-to-reach loca-
tions and narrow interspaces, e. g. on window
and door sills, grooves or behind radiators or wa-
ter pipes.
To mount the rectangular, thin, extended sand-
ing plate 18, use the corresponding screws 20.
Extended Sanding Plate, Triangular
(GSS 230 A/GSS 230 AE) (see figure H)
Use of the extended triangular sanding plate 22
enables sanding in edges and corners.
Finish-sanding Plate (without velcro backing)
(GSS 230 AE/GSS 280 AE) (see figure D)
When operating mainly with standard sanding
sheets without velcro backing, it is recommend-
ed to use the finish-sanding plate without velcro
backing. Due to its plane sanding plate surface,
optimum results are achieved, especially for fin-
ish sanding.
