FAQs

What type of sanding discs should I use with this sander?

This sander is designed for Ø150mm (6-inch) hook-and-loop sanding discs.

What is the purpose of the 9mm orbit size?

The 9mm orbit size is specifically chosen for car body repairs to provide a balance between material removal and a smooth, swirl-free finish.

How do I adjust the speed of the sander?

The sander features a 6-stage variable speed control dial, typically located near the trigger or on the main body, allowing you to select speeds from 3200 to 7200 RPM.

Can I use this sander for woodworking?

While it can sand wood, its design and orbit size are optimized for automotive body repairs. For heavy-duty woodworking, a sander with a larger orbit or different function might be more suitable.

What accessories are included with the sander?

The sander is supplied with a Ø150mm hook-and-loop backing pad, a side handle, spare carbon brushes, and a hex key.

What is the power source for this sander?

This is a corded sander that operates on a 230V mains power supply and includes a 5-meter cable.

How long is the guarantee period?

The sander comes with a 3-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Sander does not start

Ensure the power cable is securely plugged into a working 230V outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position. If the problem persists, the motor or switch may require professional inspection.

Reduced sanding performance or overheating

Check for blockages in the ventilation ports and around the sanding pad. Ensure the dust collection system is clean and not full. Worn carbon brushes can also reduce power; consider replacing them.

Excessive vibration

Ensure the backing pad and sanding disc are properly attached and that the disc is not damaged. Check for any loose components or damage to the tool. Excessive vibration could also indicate internal wear.

Sanding disc not adhering to the pad

Verify that the hook-and-loop backing pad is clean and free from debris. Ensure the sanding disc is also clean and designed for hook-and-loop attachment. The pad may need replacing if the hooks are worn out.
