Metabo PE 15-20 RT Operating Instructions - Page 14

en ENGLISH 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: 2 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. PE 15-20 RT: 12 13 Switching on, speed: press the trigger switch (13). Press in the trigger switch to increase the rotational speed. Switching off: To switch off release the trigger switch (13). 14 0 I Continuous operation: With the trigger (13) pressed, push in the locking button (12) and release the trigger. Press and release the trigger (13) again to switch off. 8.3 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. 10. Troubleshooting PE 15-25: The electronic signal indicator (5) lights up and the load speed decreases. There is too much load on the machine! Run the machine in idling until the electronic signal indicator switches off. PE 15-20 RT, PE 15-25: The machine does not start. The electronic signal indicator (5) flashes. The restart protection is active. If the mains plug is inserted with the machine switched on or if the power supply is restored following an interruption,
