Preparation/Set-up

The economical 3-in-1 principle: one machine - three applications

Coarse sanding (also called rotary sanding)•

With this motion the pad is driven using a gear - forced rotation.

With the combination of eccentric and rotary motions the ROTEX

achieves up to three times higher material removal capacity than

other eccentric sanders.

Fine sanding (also called eccentric sanding)•

In this motion the pad rotates itself. You obtain a first-class, extra-fine

sanding pattern with this classic eccentric motion. If the machine

is pressed to hard on the workpiece, the pad sticks - this should be

avoided!. (This will have a negative impact on the sanding result).

Polishing (with the ROTEX rotary motion)•

For this application a rotation is needed so the gear is switched on.

The overlapping rotary and eccentric motions of the ROTEX ensure

optimal results also for polishing.

Procedure

To switch the machine from coarse sanding to fine sanding or vice-versa the

motor must be switched off.

The switching is effected via the slide switch located in the centre of the cap.•

If the switch is moved to the right (rough tab), the machine is in coarse•

sanding/rotary mode.

If the switch is moved to the left (fine tab), the machine is in fine sanding/•

eccentric sanding mode.

Positioning the protector

The protector prevents the sanding pad coming into contact with its•

other side (e.g. when sanding along a wall) and thus a kick-back of the

machine.

For assembly place the edge protection on the machine until you hear•

it lock in to place.

For removal pull out or press the protector on one end and then push•

it out from the guide.

Pad change for the RO 150 FEQ

Proceed as for RO 125.•

The lock button is located at the front of the machine at the side on the•

RO 150.

Also here the button must be pulled up slightly so that it can be pressed.•

Remove extraction channel (RO 150 FEQ)

As dust extraction is not required for polishing the extraction channel if

connected is removed as it may be an obstruction.

To do so the green button in the handle area must be pressed in the•

direction of the extractor connector. At the same time pull the extraction

channel to the back.
