Attaching Profile to Mounting Plate

Individual profiles may be mounted to either the Single Profile Mounting Plate, or the Angled Profile Mounting Plate (Figs. 11 and 12). The individual profiles are pressed into the slot on the mounting plate by hand, and can be removed from the mounting plate by pulling outward on one end of the profile.

ATTACHING ABRASIVES

Three different types of abrasives that can be used with the Profile Sander are:

HOOK & LOOP SHEETS: These are precut sheets with hook & loop backing and dust extraction holes. This abrasive is used with the diamond shaped Hook & Loop Pad. Align the abrasive with the sander pad and press into place with the palm of your hand. Use a light twisting motion to lock the hooks into the loops. To remove abrasive, lift one corner with your fingernail and peel it off. These abrasives may be removed and reattached several times.

PSA SHEETS: These are precut sheets with pressure sensitive adhesive. Precut diamond shaped sheets are available to fit the optional diamond shaped PSA Pad. Precut rectangular sheets are available to fit all of the individual profiles. Peel the protective sheet from the back of the abrasive. Align the abrasive with the sander pad and press firmly into place. To remove abrasive, lift one corner with your fingernail and peel it off. Discard the used abrasive.

PSA ROLLS: These are 21/2" wide rolls with pressure sensitive adhesive. This abrasive is used with the individual profiles and with the extended “shutter” pad. Unroll a strip of abrasive to fit the particular profile (or pad), and cut to length with scissors. NOTE: For best results, the abrasive should cover all of the exposed profile below the profile holder. Firmly press the abrasive in place on the profile (or pad). To remove abrasive, lift one corner with your fingernail and peel it off. Discard the used abrasive.

NOTE: PSA Pads and Profiles must be clean for the abrasives to adhere properly. Clean the pads and profiles with soap and water.

PSA Adhesives work best at temperatures above 25° F. If PSA abrasives, pads, or profiles are stored at lower temperatures, warm them before use.

Store PSA Pads in a dust-free environment to prevent contamination of the adhesive.
