base material.

WARNING. Do not continue to use the sander with a sanding sheet that is over worn or damaged.

WARNING. Do not use the same sanding sheet for wood and metal. Metal particles become embedded in the sandpaper and will scour a wooden surface.

WARNING.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 base and the sandpaper will not attach properly.

Attaching a sanding sheet

WARNING. Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

WARNING. Never use the sander unless the entire base is fitted with sandpaper.

1. Select the required grade of sandpaper.

Hook and loop sandpaper

2.Match the holes in a suitable sheet with the holes in the base (4) and press the sheet to the base to attach it. To remove the sheet, peel it away from the base.

Ordinary sandpaper (non-hook & loop)

3.Release the paper clamp (5) from both sides of the sander.

4.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.

Using the hole punch

If the sandpaper installed does not have holes it will be necessary to punch holes into the sandpaper using the hole punch (9) provided.

1.Place the hole punch on a level surface.

2.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.

3.Remove the sander from the hole punch.

Dust extraction
