Attaching abrasive paper

CAUTION :

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the paper.

Raise the lever. Insert the paper end into the clamper, aligning the paper edges even and parallel with the sides of the base. (Prebending the paper makes attachment easier.) Once the paper is in place, return the lever to i t s original position.

Repeat the same process for the other end of the base, maintaining the proper paper tension.

CAUTION:

After insertingthe paper, makesure the teeth of the clamper hold it securely. Otherwise the paper will be loose and subject to slippage, resulting in uneven sanding operation.

Punch plate

(standard equipment for Model BO4550 optional accessory for Model 8045502)

When usingthe dust bag, makeholesinthe paper using the punch plate as follows: Hold the tool with the paper surfacefacing up. Placethe punch plate over the paperso that the bent sides of the punch plate are flush with the paper edges. Then pressthe punch plate to make holes in the paper.

CAUTION:

Be sure to remove the punch plate before operation.

Dust bag

(standard equipment for Model BO4550 optional accessory for Model 8045502)

The use of the dust bag makes sanding operations clean and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit the bag's entry port onto the dust spout on the tool so that the hole in the entry port is just over the protrusion on the dust spout.

For the best results, empty the dust bag when it becomesabout half full, tapping it lightlyto remove as much dust as possible.
