Operation Manual

ENGLISH 6 DSE 220, DSE 260
To remove the base plate depress the locking
button and remove the base plate from the recep-
tion by turning it.
To mounting/remove the lamella base plate
proceed analogously.
Should the Velcro coat at the top of the base plate
be worn after longer use, the base plate can be
turned 120° and be re-mounted. This ensures a
perfect fit of the sanding paper at the top.
Fitting the
sandpaper
Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any work on the
machine.
Simply press the required sandpaper to the Velcro faced base plate. To remove, pull
it off. The holes in the sandpaper must conform with the holes in the base plate.
Dust extraction When producing large quantities of dust, a suction hose (35 mm diameter) can be
connected via the provided adapter. The suction hose can be connected with an
AEG wet-and-dry vacuum cleaner. We recommend the use of the AEG wet-and-dry
vacuum cleaner NTE 1100. It enables connecting the tool directly to the socket of
the vacuum cleaner. When switching on the tool, the vacuum cleaner switches on
automatically.
Connecting the
dust-remover
Insert the suction hose connector into the adapter until it sits firmly. Connect the
other end of the suction hose to a vacuum cleaner which is suited for dust extraction.
Advices for
operation
■ Always start sanding with coarse sanding paper. Then use finer paper until reaching
the required smoothness of the surface.
■ Always switch on the machine before starting to sand. Remove the tool from the
workpiece before switching it off. The workpiece could be scratched if the machine
is not removed from the workpiece before running out.
■ Smoothly lead the machine over the workpiece applying light pressure. Applying too
much pressure reduces the stroke rate and therefore the sanding performance!
■ Sand larger surfaces in widths. Let the widths overlay slightly.
Optimum speed
of rotation
The optimum speed of rotation also depends on the hardness of the material to be
worked as well as the quality and the graining of the used sandpaper:
Service Keep the machine and the ventilation slots clean.
Only use AEG accessories and spare parts. The exchange of components not
described must be carried out from an Atlas Copco service agent (refer to the leaflet
guarantee/service agents).
If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered. Please state the ten-digit
