TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The values shown are based on a nominal voltage of 230V/50Hz. In case of voltages and frequencies of different power values may vary. Refer to the label technical specifications to the values of the tool.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The safety and accident prevention instructions are reported in the “SAFETY INSTRUCTION” booklet which is an integral part of these documents. This operating instructions manual indicates the additional information required for the specific use of the tool.

CORRECT USAGE

• This tool is designed to be used as a sander. Read all safety warnings, instructions, indications provided on drawings and specifications provided with this tool. Failure to comply with all instructions provided below may cause electrical shocks, fire and/or serious injuries.

• This tool is not intended to be used for metal brushing, polishing and cutting operations. The use of this tool for unintended applications may cause hazards and injuries to people.

• The tool must be used with accessories that have been specifically designed or recommended by the manufacturer. The fixing of the accessory to the tool does not guarantee a safe operation.

• The rated speed of the accessories must be at least equivalent to the maximum speed specified on the tool.
  Using the accessories at speeds above the rated one, may cause them to break or be thrown into the air.

• The external diameter and thickness of the accessories must match the specifications of the tool. Accessories with incorrect dimensions cannot be adequately protected or controlled.

• The configuration of accessories must match the tool. The use of accessories that cannot be perfectly fitted on the tool may result in imbalance, excessive vibrations and in the impossibility of controlling the tool.

• Do not use damaged accessories. Before use, inspect all the accessories. Inspect the supporting pads and verify there are no cracks, tears or excessive wear. If the tool or accessory has fallen, verify that it is not damaged or install a new accessory. After inspecting or installing an accessory, test the operation of the tool at maximum speed and without load for one minute, keeping at a safety distance. If the accessories are damaged, they will break during this test.

PARTS OF THE TOOL

1. Identification plate
2. ON/OFF button – LED indicator
3. START/STOP switch lever
4. Speed regulation wheel
5. Backing pad
6. Extractor connector
7. 19 mm pad wrench
8. Anti-spinning sleeve

STARTING UP

WARNING: Voltage and power frequency must match the data displayed on the identification plate (1).
ACCESSORIES ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY
WARNING: Before (dis)assembling the tool assure that the tool is unplugged.
NOTICE: For have the optimal tool performance use only original accessories and consumables.
Backing Pad

• Insert the pad wrench (7) between the backing pad and the anti-spinning sleeve (Fig. 1) to hold the spindle.
• Turn the pad counterclockwise to remove it.
• For disassembly: (Fig. 2, 3) Hold the spindle with the pad wrench (7), than turn the pad clockwise.

NOTICE: Fitting non-original or incorrect sized backing pads may cause excessive vibration of the tool.
Abrasive Paper

• Used abrasive paper can be removed by simply tearing them off;
• Apply the new abrasive paper by pressing the same on the backing pad(5), and making sure that the holes on the paper coincide with suction holes of the pad.
  NOTICE: Only Ø 150mm Velcro abrasive paper discs with dust extraction holes are allowed.

STARTING AND STOPPING
Starting: Press the ON/OFF button (2); the LED will light. Now the tool can be started by pressing the START/ STOP switch lever (3). The rpm can be adjusted by rotating the speed regulator wheel (4).
Stopping: Release the lever for stop the tool; Press the ON/OFF button, the LED and the tool will turned off.
WARNING: If a case of unusual vibration is present after a start of the tool, switch-off the tool immediately and eliminate the fault.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn off the tool by pressing the ON/OFF button (2) after any use.

ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER

Soft start
The soft start is electronically controlled. The soft start can be also controlled by adjusting the position of the lever. The soft start guarantees the motor protection and reduces the risk of injury for the operator.
Speed control
The speed of the tool can be changed by rotating the speed regulation wheel (4) to the desired setting.
The speed regulation wheel has eleven detents, the speed can be set speed between 4000 (position 1) and 10000 (position 6) RPM.
Tool Protections
The electronic protection protects the tool from different events that can damage the tool and create a risk of injury for the operator.

• Temperature cut-out: In a case of overheating, the protection limits the tool power consumption and reduce RPM. If the temperature continues to rise, the electronic protection turns off the tool and the LED starts blinking.
• Overcurrent: In a case of overcurrent caused by repeated starts or excessive overloads, the electronic protection turns off the tool and the LED starts blinking.
• Blocked rotor: In a case of blocked rotor caused by some physical impediment, the electronic protection turn off the tool and the LED starts blinking.
• Current spike: In a case of current spike caused by overload or difficult start caused by some impediment, the electronic protection turn off the tool and the LED starts blinking.

LED blinking indication
The LED shows the type of protection with different code of blinking:

eliminate the fault
before restart the tool.
Overcurrent| Blink-Pause-Blink| Restart the tools and reduce the load to the sander; if
the protection is repeated, stop the tool for a short
time.
Temperature cut-out| 2 Blinks-Pause- 2 Blinks| Restart the tools and reduce the load to the sander; if
the protection is repeated, stop the tool for a short
time.
Current spike| 3 Blinks-Pause- 3 Blinks| Restart the tools; if the protection is repeated, stop the
tool for a short time.

DUST EXTRACTION
WARNING: Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work with a dust extractor. Always read applicable nation regulations before extracting hazardous dust.
The sander does not have the self-generated dust extraction. Connect a RUPES dust extraction system at the extractor connector (6).
NOISE EMISSION VALUES
Noise emission values determined according to EN 62841-2-4:
RX153A/RX253A – RX156A/RX256A

Use ear protection!
VIBRATION EMISSION VALUES
Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K determined according to EN 62841-2-4:
RX153A/RX253A RX156A/RX256A

Displayed emission values are comparative and are to be employed for a provisional assessment of the operator’s risk exposure during the work period. Appropriate evaluation of work period must also include tool’s idle and stop periods. These emission values represent the tool’s main applications. If the tool is used for other applications,
with other accessories, or if it does not undergo regular maintenance, emission values can significantly increase during operations.
CAUTION: The indicated measurements refer to new power tools. Daily usage causes the noise and vibration values to change.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING

WARNING: All maintenance operation must be performed with the power disconnected.
CLEANING
At the end of each work session, or when required, remove any dust from the body of the tool using a soft cloth, paying particular attention to the motor ventilation slots.
