2.4 Emissions
The values stated are emission levels. Although there is a correlation between emission and imission level, it
cannot be reliably derived from this whether additional precautions are necessary. Factors influencing the
current immission level existing at the workplace comprise the duration of exposure, the room characteristic,
other source of noise, etc. such as e.g. the number of machines and other adjacent machining operations. In
addition, the permissible immission level may differ from country to country. This information is nevertheless
suitable for providing the machine user with an improved assessment of the hazard and risk.
2.4.1 Noise emission specifications
Noise emission values determined according to EN 62841:
Sound pressure level
LPA = 83 dB (A)
Uncertainty
KPA = 3,0 dB (A)
Sound power level

2.6 Use according to intended purpose
The orbital sander is exclusively intended for dry
surface finishing work with timber, coatings of paint
and varnish, filler and plaster as well as with metal.
Any other use than described above is not
permissible. The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for any damage arising from such other use.
So as to use the machine as intended, comply with
the operating, maintenance and repair instructions
specified by Mafell.
2.7 Residual risks
Danger
Even if used in accordance with its
intended purpose and despite
conforming with the safety
instructions, residual risks caused
by the intended use will always
remain.
- Touching the sanding paper or the oscillating plate
when sanding.
- Touching live parts with the housing open and the
mains plug not removed.
- Hearing can be impaired when working for long
periods without ear protectors.
- Emission of harmful wood dusts during longer
operation without extraction.
3Safety instructions
Danger
Always observe the following safety
instructions and the safety
regulations applicable in the
respective country of use!
General instructions:
- Children and adolescents must not operate this
machine. This rule does not apply to young
persons receiving training and being supervised by
an expert.
- Never work without the protection devices
prescribed for the respective operating sequence
and do not make any changes to the machine that
could impair safety.
- When operating the machine outdoors, use of an
earth-leakage circuit-breaker is recommended.
- Damaged cables or plugs must be immediately
replaced. Replacement may only be carried out by
Mafell or an authorised MAFELL service workshop
in order to avoid safety hazards.
- Avoid sharp bends in the cable. Especially when
transporting and storing the machine, do not wind
the cable around the machine.
Instructions on the use of personal protective
equipment:
- Always wear ear protectors during work.
- Always where a dust mark during work.
- The dust arising during work is often hazardous
(e.g. when processing oak or beech wood, rocks,
metal or paint coats containing lead or other
harmful substances) and should not enter the
body. Do not touch or inhale the dust. Use a dust
extraction and in addition wear a dust protection
mask. Remove any deposited dust thoroughly, e.g.
by vacuuming it with a special vacuum cleaner.
Also observe this when replacing the filter bag.
Instructions on operation:
- Do not reach with your hands into the oscillating
range of the sanding paper or its retainer. With
your other hand, support the supplementary
handle or the motor casing.
- Never support the workpiece in your hand or over
your leg. Secure the workpiece against a sturdy
support.

-17-
- Whenever possible, secure the workpiece against
slipping, e.g. with screw clamps.
- Provide for an unobstructed and slip-proof location
with sufficient lighting.
- Only use sanding paper with the dimensions stated
in these operating instructions.
Instructions on service and maintenance:
- Regularly cleaning the machine, especially the
adjusting devices and guides, constitutes an
important safety factor.
- Only original MAFELL spare parts and accessories
may be used. Otherwise the manufacturer will not
accept any warranty claims and cannot be held
liable.
Only connect the machine with the
mains when it is switched off.
4Setting / Adjustment
4.1 Mains connection
Prior to commissioning make sure that the mains
voltage complies with the operating voltage stated on
the machine's rating plate.
4.2 Dust extraction
Connect the machine to a suitable external dust
extractor during all work generating a considerable
amount of dust. The air velocity must be at least 20
m/s (65.6 ft / sec.).
The internal diameter of hose connector is 35 mm ( 1
3/8 in.).
Correct dust extraction can only be guaranteed if an
abrasive grid or punched sanding paper is used. As
the sander is equipped with its own dust extraction, it
is possible to work with the sander's own dust
extraction and the filter bag supplied for short
assignments and in inaccessible areas. Make sure
that the filter bag is replaced on a regular basis (Fig.
5 and 6).
4.3 Replacing abrasives
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
Attaching abrasives with hook and loop fastening
(Fig. 2)
The hook and loop fastening makes a quick
replacement of the sanding sheets possible.
Remove any dirt and dust from sanding pad 6 or
7 before mounting a new sanding sheet.
When abrasive grids are used, the Velco strip of
the sanding pad can be covered with protective
layer 9 or 10 to prevent excessive wear.
When positioning the protective layer, pay
attention that the drill holes correspond to those
of the sanding pad.
Make sure that the clamping brackets 4 (Fig. 1)
are always locked in position when working.
Loose clamping brackets wear and may
damage the casing of the orbital sander.
Only use original MAFELL abrasives.
Attaching sanding paper without Velcro fastening
(Fig. 3)
Release clamping bracket 4 by simultaneously
lifting the two rounded ends 5 upwards.
Remove the old sanding paper and insert a new
sheet.
When positioning the sanding sheet, pay
attention that the drill holes correspond to those
of the sanding pad.
By exerting pressure on clamping brackets 4
you fasten and clamp the sanding sheet in
position.
Make sure that the release levers on both sides
engage.
4.4 Installation of the delta grinding plate
Installation of the delta grinding plate
(Fig. 4)
Open the clamping bracket 4 by lifting the
rounded edges 5 on both sides and pulling back
the clamping bracket. Then, press the two
brackets against each other from the outside
and remove clamping bracket 4 from the
sanding pad.

-18-
Insert delta sanding plate 7 with its two cams
from the front into sanding pad 6. Attach the
delta sanding plate 7 with screw 11 to sanding
plate 6.
4.5 Additional handle
If necessary, the additional handle 12 can be
removed from the machine with the integrated screw
13 using the enclosed hexagon screw driver.
5Operation
5.1 Initial operation
Personnel entrusted to work with the machine must
be made aware of the operating instructions, calling
particular attention to the chapter "Safety
instructions".
5.2 Switching on and off
Short operation
Switching on: Press switch 1 (Fig.1).
Switching off: Release the switch.
Continuous operation
Switching on: Press switch 1 and locking
button 2 consecutively. Then release the switch
with depressed locking button. The motor runs
without pressure on the switch.
Switching off: Press switch 1 until locking
button 2 pops out. Then release the switch.
5.3 Control electronics
The stroke rate of the orbital sander UVA 115 E can
be steplessly set at adjusting wheel 3 of the control
electronics from 4000 strokes/min to 24000
strokes/min.
With the control electronics, the sanding speed can
be adapted to the respective material. Thus, heat-
sensitive materials such as plastics, paints, varnishes
and glazes are protected against damage by
excessive sanding speeds. In addition, the abrasive
grid lasts longer as it does not get clogged. Thus,
when working with the control electronics when
sanding a wide variety of different materials, you
always obtain a sanding speed that is suitable for the
material.
5.4 Work instructions
The best sanding performance is achieved with slight
pressure.
You can avoid scratching caused by switching on and
off, if you position the running orbital sander on the
workpiece and also remove it with running motor from
the workpiece.
6Service and maintenance
Danger
Pull the power plug during all
service work.
MAFELL machines are designed to be low in
maintenance.
The ball bearings used are greased for life. When the
machine has been in operation for a longer period of
time, we recommend to hand the machine in at an
authorised MAFELL customer service shop for
inspection.
Regularly remove deposited dust from the machine.
In the process, blow out the ventilation openings on
the motor.
6.1 Storage
If the machine is not used for a longer period of time,
it has to be carefully cleaned. Spray bright metal parts
with a rust inhibitor.
