Intended use
The tool is intended for the sanding of large surface of wood, plastic and metal materials as well as painted surfaces.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are double-insulated in accordance with European Standard and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without earth wire.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according to EN62841:
Sound pressure level (L pA ): 72 dB (A)
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)
The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A).
Wear ear protection
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined according to EN62841:
Work mode: sanding metal plate
Vibration emission (a): 3.5 m/s 2 h
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s 2
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value has been measured in accordance with the standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared emission value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it.
For BO3711 only
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 4,000 and 11,000 orbits per minute by turning the speed adjusting dial, which is marked 1 to 5. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the direction of number 5, lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1. Adjust the desired tool speed for the kind of work.
For conventional type of abrasive paper with pre-punched holes (standard equipment):
Press down the clamp lever (1 in the figure) and with the clamp lever pressed down slide it toward the tool (2 in the figure) and the clamper will be released.
Insert the paper end between a clamper and the pad aligning the holes in the paper with those in pad. Then return the clamp lever to the original position to secure it. Release the other clamp lever by repeating the same procedure. While pulling abrasive paper to maintain the proper tension, insert and secure the other end of abrasive paper between another clamper and the pad and return the clamp lever to the original position.
To remove the paper, release the clamper as stated above.
For conventional type of abrasive paper without pre-punched holes (available on the market):
Press down the clamp lever 1 and with the clamp lever pressed down slide it toward the tool 2 and the clamper will be released.
Insert the paper end between a clamper and the pad aligning the paper edges even and parallel with the sides of the base. Then return the clamp lever to the original position to secure it.
Release the other clamp lever by repeating the same procedure. While pulling abrasive paper to maintain the proper tension, insert and secure the other end of abrasive paper between another clamper and the pad and return the paper clamp lever to the original position.
Place the punch plate (optional accessory) over the paper so that the guide of the punch plate is flush with the sides of the base. Then press the punch plate to make holes in the paper.
To remove the paper, release the clamper as stated above.
For hook-and-loop type of abrasive paper with pre-punched holes (optional accessory):
Remove the pad for the conventional type of abrasive paper from the tool with a screwdriver. Install the pad for the hook-and-loop type of abrasive paper (optional accessory) on the tool. Tighten the screws firmly to secure the pad.
Remove all dirt or foreign matter from the pad. Attach the paper to the pad, aligning the holes in the paper with those in the pad.
Optional accessory
Attach the dust bag onto the dust spout. The dust spout is tapered. When attaching the dust bag, push it onto the dust spout firmly as far as it will go to prevent it from coming off during operation.
For the best results, empty the dust bag when it becomes approximately half full, tapping it lightly to remove as much dust as possible.
Optional accessory
Make sure that the logo on the cardboard lip and the logo on the dust box are on the same side, then install the filter by fitting the cardboard lip in the groove of each holding tab.
Make sure that the logo on the cardboard lip and the logo on the dust nozzle are on the same side, then install the dust nozzle on the dust box. Removing dust box and filter.
Remove the dust nozzle by pushing the two latches.
Remove the filter first by pinching the logo side of its cardboard lip, then by pulling the cardboard lip downwards to move it out of the holding tab of the dust box.
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and wait until it attains full speed. Then gently place the tool on the workpiece surface. Keep the pad flush with the workpiece and apply slight pressure on the tool.
