10 Sanding base brakes
The sanding base is braked by a collar (2.2) in
order to prevent any uncontrolled excessive speed
of the sanding base. Because the collar wears
down in the course of time, it has to be replaced
by a new one (order no. 453 388) as soon as there
is any reduction in the braking effect.
