Always disconnect the plug
from the power source
before attaching or removing abrasive
sheets.
ATTACHING REGULAR ABRASIVE
SHEETS USING SHEETLOC™ SYSTEM
The Bosch-exclusive SheetLoc™ Sandpaper
Attachment System pulls regular abrasive
sheets (sandpaper) flat and tight before
clamping to prevent wrinkles, creases and
tears for optimal sanding performance and
longer paper life. Patent Pending.
1. While pressing the front clamp release
button, insert the abrasive sheet (grit side
down) between the front clamp and base
plate. Make sure sheet is centered under
the front clamp and inserted deep enough
to be fully under the front clamp, then
release button (Fig. 2). Note: It is not
necessary to insert the paper so deep that
its front edge curls and goes behind the
back of the front clamp.
2.Press the rear clamp lever inward to
unlock from latch and move lever away
from base plate. (Fig. 3).
3. Wrap the abrasive sheet around the length
of the pad and slide free end of sheet
between rear clamp bar and rear clamp
spring plate (Fig. 4). Flatten the abrasive
sheet by pushing it as far to the back as
possible, then move the rear clamp lever
to the base plate and lock in place (Fig. 5).
This action pulls the abrasive sheet taut
while clamping, which prevents wrinkles,
creases and tears.
REMOVING REGULAR
ABRASIVE SHEETS
Simply press the front clamp button and
release the rear clamp lever to remove the
abrasive sheet.
