Frequently Asked Questions - BT-PO 1100/1 E EINHELL

How to use the Einhell BT-PO 1100/1 E sander polisher in polishing mode?

For polishing, use the supplied foam to apply the polishing compound. Set the speed to around 1000 rpm for application, 1000-1100 rpm for high-gloss polishing, and 1400 rpm for re-polishing. Only start the machine when it is placed on the surface to be polished and work with even movements without excessive pressure.

How to adjust the rotation speed on the BT-PO 1100/1 E?

Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the speed control (pos. 4). The display (8) shows the speed in hundreds of rpm (example: 10 = 1000 rpm). The speed is adjustable from 1000 to 3500 rpm.

What accessories are included with the Einhell BT-PO 1100/1 E sander?

The storage case contains: additional handle, polishing/sanding pad, foam, synthetic polishing cover, abrasive discs grit 60, 80 and 120 (2 pieces each), 8 mm hex key and M10x20 mm screws (2 pieces).

How to change the abrasive discs or polishing brushes?

The discs and brushes are attached by hook-and-loop fastening. To replace them, simply peel off the used piece and apply the new one. Make sure the pad is clean and the attachment is centered.

What safety precautions must be observed?

Always wear hearing protection (earmuffs), a dust mask and safety goggles. Disconnect the plug before any assembly or cleaning. Do not use the device on materials containing asbestos or lead. Avoid contact with water and do not work in an explosive environment.
