Sanding motion
You can use the switch (6.1) to set two dif-
ferent sanding motions.
The change can only be made
when the sanding pad is stationary, as the
switch is locked in place during operation
for safety reasons.
Rotex rotary motion (coarse sanding,
polishing)
The Rotex rotary motion is a combi-
nation of rotary and eccentric mo-
tions. This motion is recommended
for sanding with aggressive material
removal (coarse sanding) and polish-
ing.
Slide the switch (6.1) into the right posi-
tion.
Eccentric motion ( ne sanding)
This motion is recommended for
sanding with low material removal for
a scratch-free nish ( ne sanding).
Press the switch (6.1) down and push it into
the left-hand position.
