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.
