INSTALLING SANDING SHEETS
Your sander uses hook-and-loop backed
sandpaper, which firmly grips the backing pad
when applied with moderate pressure.
To change, mere ly peel off the old sandpaper,
remove dust from the backing pad if necessary,
and press the new sandpaper in place. (Fig. 4).
After considerable use the backing pad surface
will become worn, and the backing pad must be
replaced when it no longer offers a firm grip. If
you are experiencing premature wear of the
back ing pad facing, decrease the amount of
pressure you are applying during operation of
the tool.
ROTATING BACKING PAD
For maximum use of abrasive, rotate pad 120
degrees when tip of abrasive becomes worn
