RANDOM ORBITAL SANDER PES 600 Dear Customer, We are delighted that you have decided to purchase our high quality random orbital sander PES 600. Please make sure you familiarise yourself fully with the way the equipment works before you use it for the first time and that you understand how to handle electrical power tools correctly. Please read the operating instructions below and the accompanying safety advice carefully. Use the tool only as described and for the indicated purposes. By doing this you will be able to work with a high level of safety and produce better results. We hope you enjoy using your random orbital sander.

PROPER USE The random orbital sander is intended for dry-sanding and polishing wood, metal and paint. Always use a sanding disc and grade of grit suitable for the particular surface you are sanding. The speed selected should also be appropriate. Any other use or modification to the random orbital sander shall be considered as improper use and could give rise to considerable dangers. The manufacturer will not accept liability for loss or damage arising from improper use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE • • • • •

Please read the additional advice in the accompanying booklet called "Safety advice". The sander is not designed for wet sanding and therefore must be used for dry sanding only. It must not be used on any materials containing asbestos. Wear ear protectors. Look after your health – please wear safety glasses and a breathing/dust mask. Please take note that working with stone, wood and materials containing lead may give rise to dusts that are hazardous to health. • Always keep the mains cable away from the working area of the sander and lead away the cable from the rear. • If the mains lead becomes damaged it must be replaced by a special lead, which can be obtained from the manufacturer or his service department.

ATTACHING AND REPLACING SANDING DISCS Before starting any work on your sander, pull the plug out of the mains socket. The random orbital sander is fitted with a Velcro fastening, which allows for quick and easy replacement of sanding discs. Note: Remove dust and dirt from the backing pad before attaching a new sanding disc. When doing this, make sure that the holes in the sanding disc align with the holes in the backing pad . This will provide the maximum suction for dust removal. Different materials require different grades of grit. You can read about the various grit grades and the work for which they are suitable in our informal recommendations under “Advice on use, Tips and Tricks”.

OPERATION Take note of the mains voltage. The voltage must agree with that shown on the equipment rating plate (equipment shown as 230 V can also be connected to 220 V). PRESELECT ROTATION SPEED: The desired rotation speed can be preselected as required using the rotation speed selector wheel . Different materials require you to work with different rotation speeds. To help in selecting the most appropriate rotation speed, please refer to our recommendations under “Tips and Tricks”. SWITCHING ON AND OFF, CONTINUOUS MODE: TO SWITCH ON: TO SWITCH OFF: TO SWITCH ON IN CONTINUOUS MODE: TO SWITCH OFF CONTINUOUS MODE:

Press the ON/OFF switch Release the ON/OFF switch Press the ON/OFF switch and lock it in position by simultaneously pressing the locking button Press the ON/OFF switch and then release it.

2-STAGE POWER CONTROL: DUO-START DUO-START technology results in high sanding output and allows you two different ways of working with the sander. The two handles allow you to concentrate the sanding power where you want it for the best results, whilst providing you a good control of the sander. You also can work holding either the front handle or the main handle . The front handle can be positioned using the wing screw on the right-hand side. REDUCED NO-LOAD ROTATION SPEED: The sander has a reduced no-load rotational speed facility. It is only when you press down on the sander or actually sand the workpiece that the full power of the preselected rotation speed is triggered. This means that you can safely bring the sanding disc into contact with the workpiece material and then gently start your orbital sanding process.

ADVICE ON USE Always switch on the random orbital sander before bringing it into contact with the workpiece material. USE LIGHT SANDING PRESSURE ONLY Always work applying the lightest possible sanding pressure. The weight of the sander alone is perfectly adequate to produce good sanding results. By adopting this approach you will also prolong the life of your sanding discs, obtain a smoother workpiece surface and reduce the amount of energy consumed.

www.kompernass.com +++ www.kompernass.com +++ www.kompernass.com +++ SANDING AND SURFACES The sanding output and the quality of the surface finish are determined by the rotation speed and the grade of grit on the sanding disc (see table under “Advice on use, Tips and Tricks”). The following basic rule applies: the higher the rotational speed, the higher the sanding output and the finer the sanded surface finish.

VACUUM DUST EXTRACTION • VACUUM DUST EXTRACTION USING THE DUST COLLECTION BOX Push the dust collection box on to the adapter opening on the side of the sander. Note: Empty the dust collection box regularly and at the appropriate intervals, striking the box to dislodge any adhering dirt. This will ensure optimum suction for dust removal. • VACUUM DUST EXTRACTION USING A VACUUM CLEANER To use a vacuum cleaner for dust extraction you will require the appropriate adapter. Connect the adapter to the hose end piece of your vacuum cleaner and attach it on to the nozzle of the sander.

CARE AND CLEANING 1. Clean the sander frequently. For best results, do this immediately after you have finished using it. 2. Do not allow any liquids to enter the sander. Use a soft cloth to clean the housing. Never use petrol, solvents or cleaning agents as these may attack the plastic. 3. Always keep the ventilation openings clean and unobstructed.

ADVICE ON USE, TIPS AND TRICKS • Move the sander in parallel runs, large circles or alternate longitudinal and transverse runs. • Do not press on the sander. Otherwise the sanding discs may be displaced and detrimentally affect the sanding performance. • Clean the sanding disc from time to time with a vacuum cleaner. • By selecting the correct rotational speed and the grade of grit on the sanding disc you can determine the sanding output and the results you obtain. • Do not work on different types of material using the same disc (e.g. wood and then metal). • Only by using sanding discs in perfect condition will you enjoy good results and protect your sander.
