Fig. 3
Inspect sanding disc before installing. Do not use if broken or defective.
•Unplug your sander.
_ WARNING: Failure to unplug your sander could
result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.
•Carefully peel paper backing from the pressure sensitive adhesive type sanding disc.
•Align holes in sanding disc with holes in backing pad, then carefully press sticky side of disc against pad as tight as possible.
Note: Holes in sanding disc must line up with holes in the backing pad in order for the dustless feature of your sander to function properly.
Note: It is recommended that you clean backing pad occasionally by brushing lightly with a small brush. Dust buildup on backing pad could cause sanding disc not to stick properly.
REMOVING SANDING DISC BEFORE STORAGE
Do not store your sander with the sanding disc installed. Heat generated from sanding causes the pressure sensitive adhesive to flow and form a tight bond between the backing pad and sanding disc.
Removing the sanding disc soon after you have finished a sanding operation avoids letting the adhesive set up. If the sanding disc is left on the backing pad for an extended period of time after use,
the adhesive will set up and cause the sanding disc to become difficult to remove.
It may also tear when removing. When this situation occurs, it becomes difficult to clean the backing pad for the next sanding disc.
Note: If you forget to remove the sanding disc after a sanding operation, sand for a few minutes to soften the adhesive backing before attempting to remove sanding disc.
TO ATTACH CONVERSION PAD AND VELCRO TYPE SANDING DISC
The conversion pad provided with your sander has a pressure sensitive adhesive backing material. It is applied by the same method as pressure sensitive adhesive sanding discs.
•Unplug your sander.
_lb WARNING: Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
Carefully peel paper backing from the conversion pad and align with holes in backing pad. Firmly press sticky side of conversion pad against backing pad. Your sander is now ready to use velcro type sanding discs.
Align holes in velcro type sanding disc with holes in conversion pad, then carefully press fuzzy side of sanding disc against pad as tight as possible.
Note: Velcro type sanding discs can be reused for the life of the sanding abrasive. It is recom- mended that you keep the sanding disc backing and the conversion pad clean to provide for their best adhesion. Clean occasionally by brushing lightly with a small brush.
