of the most important components of the ELAN. Take
your time to become familiar with the machine.
1.2 Description of the machine
The ELAN stair-sanding, edge-sanding and corner-san-
ding machine works with a sanding disc on which Velcro
sanding discs can be fastened. Traditional sanding discs
fastened with a tensioning 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 supply cable is used to connect the machine to
the power supply system. The motor switch with ON / OFF
is located on the right side in the handle piece. The
machine is moved by means of two steering wheels at
the rear side of the machine. The handles are located on
top of the motor. The suction union piece, to which the
dust bag clamp and the dust bag are attached, is located
underneath the handles.
The ELAN can only be used for dry processing operations.
Never use the ELAN for wet processing operations (life-
threatening risk)!
