Q: How to change the heads and accessories of the Ferm OTM1005?

Before any handling: Always turn off the machine and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Place the Ferm OTM1005 on a table with the mounting point (3) facing up. Changing the sanding pad and sanding paper: Loosen the Allen screw (7) with the provided Allen key (5). Mount the sanding pad (9) onto the mounting point (3) and tighten the Allen screw securely. Then mount the sanding paper (10) ensuring that the holes align perfectly with those of the pad. To remove, simply reverse the operation. Changing the saw blade: Loosen the Allen screw (7). Remove the spacer (8). Insert the saw blade (11) onto the mounting point (3). Reattach the spacer (8) and then tighten the Allen screw securely. The same procedure applies for removal in reverse order. Changing the stripping knife: Follow exactly the same procedure as for the saw blade: loosen the screw (7), remove the spacer (8), install the stripping knife (12) onto the mounting point (3), reattach the spacer (8) and tighten the Allen screw. Important points to remember: Only use accessories recommended by Ferm for the OTM1005 model. Ensure that the maximum speed of the accessory is equal to or greater than that of the machine (11,000 to 20,000 rpm). Before each use, inspect the accessories to ensure they are not damaged, bent, or dull. If you change a saw blade or stripping knife, check that the spacer (8) is correctly reattached to ensure safe and balanced operation of the machine. After mounting new accessories, let the machine run without load for a moment to check that it does not vibrate excessively.
