7.1
Installing support plate and sanding
sheet
Only use the adjusting nut supplied with the
support plate.
Place the support plate on the spindle as shown in
the illustration. Screw on sanding sheet with
adjusting nut supplied with support plate. Lock the
spindle. Tighten sanding sheet with support plate
manually in a clockwise direction.
Release by hand or with a two-hole spanner if
necessary.
8. Use
8.1
Setting speed
The speed can be preset via the thumb-wheel (4)
and is infinitely variable.
The VTC electronics make material-compatible
work possible and an almost constant speed, even
under load.
8.2
Switching On and Off
Switch on first, then guide the accessory
towards the workpiece.
The machine must not be allowed to draw in
additional dust and shavings. When switching
the machine on and off, keep it away from dust
deposits. After switching off the machine, only place
it down when the motor has come to a standstill.
In continuous operation, the machine
continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with
both hands using the handles provided, stand
securely and concentrate.
PE 15-25:
Switching on: Push the sliding switch (2) forward.
For continuous activation, now tilt downwards
until it engages.
Switching off: Press the rear end of the slide
switch (2) and release it.

Working directions
Polishing:
At the start of the polishing process, start with the
lowest speed, coarse polish and a lambskin or a
coarse pad.
Then the speed is increased, a medium polish and
a medium pad are used.
A high speed is used for the finish (high gloss
polishing), as well as the finest polish and the finest
pad.
Polishing is done with crossover polishing, i.e. from
left to right and then again from top to bottom. Here
make sure not to stay too long in one spot, since the
surface can heat up a lot and the surface could get
damaged.
Sanding (not PE 15-20 RT):
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and
move back and forth so that the surface of the
workpiece does not become too hot.
9. Cleaning
It is possible that particles deposit inside the power
tool during operation. This impairs the cooling of the
power tool. Conductive build-up can impair the
protective insulation of the power tool and cause
electrical hazards.
The power tool should be cleaned regularly, often
and thoroughly through all front and rear air vents
using a vacuum cleaner. Prior to this operation,
separate the power tool from the power source and
wear protective goggles and a dust mask.
Cleaning the dust filter:
If too much dust is deposited on the dust
protection filter, the cooling to the motor
is reduced and the motor may overheat and
become damaged. Clean the dust protection filter
regularly, frequently and thoroughly by vacuuming
or wiping. Prior to this operation, separate the
power tool from the power source or remove the
dust protection filter. When working, wear goggles
and a dust mask.
