2.When fitting Hook & Loop sandpaper match the holes in a suitable sheet with the holes in the base.
3.Simply press the sheet to the base to attach it.
4.To remove the sheet, peel it away from the base.
CAUTION. Take care to
regularly clean out the build up of dust on the base underneath the sandpaper and not to let the sandpaper wear completely down before replacing it. Failure to observe these two precautionary measures can lead to damage to the hooks and loops on the platen and the sandpaper will not attach properly.
5.Ordinary (non Hook & Loop type) sanding sheets can also be used.
6.Release the paper clamp
(5) from both sides
of the sander.
7.Insert the end of the sandpaper under one clamp and pull the paper tight over the base (4) ensuring the holes align with those in the base and then clamp the other side.
8.The paper should be kept tightly clamped over the base, otherwise there could be excessive wear of the base material.
WARNING. Never use the sander unless the entire base is fitted with sandpaper or another type of pad.
Using the hole punch
1.If the sandpaper installed does not have holes it will be necessary to punch holes into the sandpaper using the hole punch (11) provided.
2.Place the hole punch on a level surface.
3.After fitting the sandpaper to the sander align the base of the sander with the hole punch and push down on the sander until the hole punch pierces the sandpaper.
4.Remove the sander from the hole punch.
Dust extraction canister
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
1.Attach the dust extraction canister (9) to the sander by pushing and twisting the bayonet fitting in a
similar action to inserting a light globe into a lamp.
WARNING. For optimum dust extraction, remove and empty the canister (10) when it is no more than half full. Do not use the canister when sanding metal. The hot metal particles could cause residual wood dust or the internal bag itself to catch fire.
