OPERATION
Take note of the mains voltage. The voltage must agree with that shown on the identification plate (equipment
shown as 230 V can also be used with 220 V).
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
SWITCH ON SANDER = press switch 
SWITCH OFF SANDER = press switch again
SETTING THE SPEED
You can set the required speed using the adjuster wheel (see Fig ) as required. As the setting depends on
what kind of material you are working with, use the recommendations and examples given in Tips and Tricks.
FITTING THE SANDING SHEETS
Note: before fitting a new sanding sheet, remove dust and dirt from the base .
1. Lift both clips to open them to insert a new sanding sheet or change the sanding sheet for
use on a different material.
2. Push the sanding sheet under the open clip at one end and clamp it securely on the base by
moving the clip down again.
3. Do the same at the other end. Make sure that the sanding sheet is tight against the base. See Figures and .
4. Important! - The holes in the sanding sheet and the base must align for the dust to be extracted through the
base. See Figure .
Different materials need different grades of sanding sheets. To determine which grade is suitable for your work,
please read our recommendation in Tips and Tricks.
DUST EXTRACTION
• DUST EXTRACTION WITH PAPER DUST BAG
Push the paper dust bag on to the adapter . Ensure that the adapter fits correctly into the holder.
Clip the dust bag with the adapter to the side of the sander.
• DUST EXTRACTION WITH VACUUM CLEANER
For dust extraction using a vacuum cleaner use the appropriate connector – see Figure . Attach the adapter to
the end of the vacuum cleaner hose and clip it to the side of the equipment.
MAINTENANCE OF THE ORBITAL SANDER
1. Clean the sander regularly. For the best results do this straight after the work has been completed.
2. Do not allow liquids to get inside the sander. Use a soft cloth for cleaning the housing. Do not use petrol,
solvents or cleaners that may attack the plastic.
3. Air vents must always be clear and clean.

ADVICE ON WORKING METHODS, TIPS AND TRICKS
• You can use the PSS 310 orbital sander for effortless sanding even on large areas, see Fig. .
• Move the orbital sander in parallel broad circles or in alternate longitudinal and transverse directions.
• Do not press on the orbital sander. This damages the sanding sheets and adversely affects sanding performance.
• From time to time clean the sanding sheet with a vacuum cleaner.
• You do not have to resand any areas when working up to edges. The orbital sander works right into the corners
because its housing is continuous with the edge of the sanding sheet, see Fig. .
• The integrated dust extraction system allows you to work cleanly overhead. Use the integrated dust extraction
system or your vacuum cleaner wherever possible when sanding.
• The choice of speed and grade of sanding sheet determines the sanding performance and therefore the results
of your work.
• Never use the same sanding sheet on different materials (e.g. wood and then metal).
•* For metals we recommend 60 grade (steel) or 80 grade (aluminium) – with a medium to high speed.
•* For wood we recommend 60 grade (hardwood) or 60 – 80 grade (soft wood) with a medium to high speed. If you
are sanding veneered surfaces we recommend 240 grade – with a low to high speed depending on the
smoothness of the finish.
•* When working on varnished/painted surfaces we recommend 120 grade e.g. for smoothing out scratches
(medium to high speed), 180 grade for sanding down (low speed) and 40 grade e.g. for removing rust
(low to middle speed).
• The PSS 310 orbital sander uses HIGH TECHNOLOGY FIXING.
This no-tool quick change feature allows you to work more easily
and quickly. One hand is all that is needed.
•* These are advisory recommendations only. Before you start work, you should carry out a test to see which grade
and speed is most suitable for your work.
Further practical tips for power tools can be found in the accompanying booklet on safety advice.
We reserve the right to make technical modifications in the course of further development.
