INTRODUCTION
1.1 FEATURES OF THE MACHINE
In figure 1 we have indicated the most important components 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 FLIP®):
• 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!

NOTE on noise emission:
The values indicated are emission values
and must not represent safe workplace
values as well.
Although a correlation exists between
emission levels and immission levels, it is
not always possible to determine whether
additional precautionary measures are
required.
Factors that can have an effect on the
immission level existing at the workplace
include the duration of the effects, the
characteristics of the work area and
other sources of noise, e.g. the number of
machines and processing operations in the
vicinity. The permissible workplace values
may also vary from country to country.
This information, however, is intended
to enable the user to better estimate the
dangers and risks.

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 operations
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!
Excessive pressure
- significantly worsen the sanding finish by causing deep
scratches or burn marks on the floor,
- could cause the motor to switch off from overheating!
The FLIP®is used for the dry sanding of edges, corners and stairs.
The attachment can be changed in a matter of seconds ( Sec-
tion 7.3.1, Removing the V-belt, step 1 to 6 and Section 7.3.2, In-
stalling the V-belt, step 5 to 8).
• The FLIP®with short or long attachment is handled with rotary
clockwise movements (fig. 12) during the sanding process!
• The FLIP®with corner attachment is handled with
counterclockwise movements (fig. 13) during the sanding
process! Otherwise deep sanding marks might be generated
which could be removed by a very time-consuming procedure
afterwards only!
• 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.
