OPERATION
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
See Figure 3.
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 paper.
■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 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 recommended that you keep the sanding disc backing and the conversion pad clean to provide the best attachment. Clean occasionally by brushing lightly with a small brush.
DUSTLESS SANDING
See Figures 4 and 5.
The dust box located on the rear of your sander provides a dust collection system for your sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the sanding disc to collect in the dust box during sanding operation.
Note: For more efficient operation, empty dust box when half full. This will permit the air to flow through the box better.
WARNING:
To prevent the possibility of sanding dust or foreign objects being thrown into your face or eyes, never attempt to use your sander without the dust box properly installed. Sanding dust or foreign objects being thrown into your face could result in possible serious personal injury.
