INTRODUCTION
1.1 FEATURES OF THE MACHINE
In figure 1 (page 2), we have indicated the most important com-
ponents of the FLIP®. Take your time to become familiar with the
machine.
1.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The FLIP®edge-sanding machine works with a sanding plate on
which Velcro sanding discs can be fastened. Traditional sanding
discs fastened with a tension screw can, of course, also be used.
The work zone is protected by the attachment. The fan housing, on
which the electric motor is mounted in vertical position, is located
on the attachment. A motor power cable is used to connect the
machine to the power supply system. The motor switch with ON/OFF
positions is located on the switch box cover of the motor housing.
The machine is moved by means of two guide rollers at the rear
side of the machine. The handles are located on top of the motor. A
rotatable pipe socket is mounted on the rear of the fan housing which
feeds the sanding dust into the dust bag. The dust bag is connected
to the pipe socket via a flange with two quick-release fasteners. The
power cable is attached to the bag’s fixing bracket with Velcro tape
so that it is kept out of the working area of the machine.
There are three different attachments for the FLIP®(part numbers
are in Section 11, Spare parts):
• short attachment for sanding edges and stairs
• long attachment for sanding edges and below radiators or
similar objects
• attachment for sanding corners (corner attachment)
1.3 PROPER USE AS INTENDED
The FLIP®edge-sanding machine is suitable for the dry sanding of
wooden floors, cork floor and wooden stairs in the professional and
rental business sectors.
Any other form of use is not permitted without the approval of the
manufacturer!

WORKING WITH THE FLIP®
5.1 GENERAL APPLICATION TIPS
WARNING!
RISK OF DEATH from electrical shock:
The machine may never be used for wet processing opera-
tions of any kind!
ATTENTION!
• Bear in mind that the FLIP®operates at very high cutting
speeds! For this reason, there is a risk of burn marks for
finer grit grades!
• Do not apply excessive pressure to the attachment while
sanding! This will significantly worsen the sanding finish
by causing deep scratches or burn marks and could cause
the motor to switch off from overheating!
The FLIP®is a very versatile machine. The attachment can be
changed in a matter of seconds. The FLIP®is used for the sanding
of transitions, borders, edges, corners and stairs.
• Deep sanding marks due to the selection of a too coarse grit
grade can be prevented by starting the first sanding operation
with the finest grit grade possible.
• Prevent sanding marks made by previously used grit grade by
adhering to the order of the sandpaper grit grade and never
skip more than one grit grade.
• After replacing the sanding disc, start working in poorly lit
areas of the room in order to remove the initial aggressive-
ness of the sanding medium.
• Always vacuum the floor or stairs thoroughly before the first
sanding operation and after each additional one.
• Clean the wheels of the machine regularly.

Fig. 10 Remove the Velcro sanding disc from the sanding
plate.
5.2 REPLACING THE SANDING MEDIUM
ATTENTION!
• Only use sanding discs with paper as the base! Do not use
any sanding discs with thick bases such as fibre discs,
cutting discs or similar materials! Otherwise the sanding
plate will be damaged!
• Do not use any double sanding discs (with sanding grit on
both sides)! Otherwise the Velcro coating on the sanding
plate will be damaged!
• Always use only one sanding disc! Otherwise the sand-
ing results will not be satisfactory and the dust suction
system will not be fully operational!
• You will receive the best sanding finish and price/perfor-
mance ratio with the Velcro sanding discs from LÄGLER®!
Depending on the material being sanded, you will use various
sandpaper grit grades. Proceed as follows to change the sanding
medium:
5.2.1 VELCRO SANDING DISCS
1Switch off the machine.
2Pull the power plug out of the socket!
3Lay the machine on its side, avoiding damage to the floor and
the machine!
4Pull the worn-out Velcro sanding disc off of the sanding plate
(Fig. 10).
5Place a new Velcro sanding disc on the sanding plate. The
Velcro sanding disc must be positioned in the centre of the
sanding plate. The hole in the centre of the sanding disc and
the universal spanner make this step easier (Fig. 11).
6Press the Velcro sanding disc onto the sanding plate.

5.3 EMPTYING THE DUST BAG
WARNING!
RISK OF FIRE from the formation of sparks while sanding:
• The dust bag must always be removed from the machine
after sanding and emptied into a waste bag with the
emptying fixture! Dispose of these waste bags in a non-
combustible container!
Cover this container with a non-combustible cover and be
certain to store it and the dust bag outdoors (Fig. 27)!
• Note the warning on the motor housing (Fig. 15)!
HEALTH RISK caused by dust:
In order to ensure that the dust values in the air do not exceed
the prescribed threshold levels, please note:
•The dust must be emptied when it is one-third full at the
very latest in order to prevent a deterioration of the suction
performance due to the lack of filtering surface area! The
horizontal line on the outside of the dust bag marks the
maximum fill level!
•Do not work with an overfilled dust bag!
•Do not wash, patch or repair the dust bag in any other
manner!
•Damaged dust bags must be replaced with new ones!
•When emptying the dust bag, wearing a respiratory protec-
tive mask (at least filter class P2) is recommended!
In order to empty the dust bag in a manner as free from dust as pos-
sible, an emptying fixture, a waste bag and cable tie are included
with the FLIP®.
