attaching or removing abrasive sheets.
ATTACHING ABRASIVE SHEET
1.To open sanding sheet clamp, pull clamp lever out of its recess and lower as shown in (Fig. 2).
2.Place the abrasive sheet (grit side up) between the clamper grip and the rubber baseplate while aligning edges of the abrasive sheet with either edge of the pad.
3.After inserting the sheet, lift clamp lever up and return lever to its original position making sure the sanding sheet clamp is secure.
4.Wrap the sheet around the length of the pad and attach free end of sheet under opposite clamp and repeat procedures 1, 2, & 3 above. The abrasive sheet must be drawn as tight as possible for efficient sanding, as a loose sheet can slip or tear on the work surface.
After the sanding sheet has been installed, it will be necessary to punch holes in it with the punch plate provided. Align the rubber baseplate with punch plate, and push sander down firmly until the punch plate pierces the sanding sheet. Then remove punch plate from sander (Fig. 3). (See ABRASIVE SHEETS on page 9.)

ABRASIVE SHEETS
Your sander can also be used with PSA- backed
1.Peel protective sheet from the back of PSA sheet.
2.Align PSA sheet with backing pad and press firmly in place.
Notes:
•Make sure that SheetLoc™ System’s rear clamp lever is latched, even when PSA abrasive sheets are used.
•Remove PSA sheets soon after completing each sanding operation in order to prevent
the adhesive from creating a hardened bond with the backing pad.
REMOVING PSA ABRASIVE SHEETS
To remove, lift an edge of accessory with your fingernail and peel it off the backing pad.
Note: If PSA paper is accidentally left on the pad, the best way to remove it is to sand for a few minutes to soften the adhesive backing.
PUNCH PLATE
After the paper has been installed, it will be necessary to punch holes into the paper using the punch plate provided with your sander. Align sander base with punch plate and push down on sander until punch plate pierces the paper. Then remove punch plate from sander (Fig. 3).
