Hint: make sure the small grip dimples have
firmly secured the sandpaper surface.
5. Press holder firmly back up into place
until the contour "snaps" in place.
To remove contour, rotate lever to release
and lower the clamp holder. You are now
ready to install another contour shape or
detail pad.
When using sanding tubes, rotate them
regularly to maximize all surfaces for longer,
more efficient use.
HINT: When reaching into extremely tight
places, the contour can be extended beyond
the front of the tool.
NOTE: DO NOT APPLY EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE TO THE TOOL WHILE IN USE.
ALLOW THE SPEED OF THE TOOL AND THE
ACCESSORY TO DO THE WORK. APPLYING
UNNECESSARY PRESSURE WILL CAUSE
THE ACCESSORY TO WEAR UNEVENLY - IT
WILL NOT SERVE TO PERFORM THE WORK
MORE QUICKLY.

Operating Instructions (cont.)
Contours: Use sanding tubes that are long
lasting, reusable and easy to install. To
install, slide tube completely over desired
contour, and shape paper to contour.
Contour abrasive tubes can also be rotated
on the contour, to maximize the use of the
abrasive surface.
PSA Rolls: Rolls with pressure sensitive
adhesive can also be used with individual
contours. Unroll a strip of abrasive to fit the
particular contour, and cut to length with
scissors. When using pressure sensitive
adhesive, optimal clamping can be obtained
if the entire contour surface is wrapped with
paper. Firmly press the abrasive in place on
the contour. To remove abrasive, lift a
corner of the sheet with your fingernail and
peel it off. Dispose of the used abrasives,
they are not reusable.
HINT: When using 1/8" and 3/16" concave
contours with sanding tubes, it will be easier to
conform the abrasive to the workpiece if a finer
grit paper is used.
NOTE: The contour shapes have been
extruded to the dimension indicated on the
shape. When doing exacting work, it will be
necessary to provide an allowance for the
sandpaper being used. Heavier/coarser grit
papers require a greater allowance.
PSA Adhesives work best at temperatures
above 25 degrees F. If PSA abrasives and
pads are stored at lower temperatures, it may
be necessary to allow them to come to room
temperature before use.
PSA Rolls must be stored in a dust-free
environment to prevent contamination of
adhesive.
After considerable use, the detail pad backing
surface may become worn. The backing pad
must be replaced when it no longer offers a
firm grip. If you are experiencing premature
wearout of the backing pad facing, decrease
the amount of pressure you are applying
during operation of the tool.
“Accessory Tips”
“Tool Tips”
This machine is particularly suitable for access
to corners and edges that are otherwise
difficult to reach or require hand sanding.
Profiles and grooves may be finished using the
tip or edge of the selected accessory, which
should occasionally be rotated during use to
distribute the wear on the accessory or
backing pad surface.
Always be certain that smaller workpieces are
securely fastened to a bench or other support.
Larger panels may be held in place by hand on
a bench or sawhorse.
SANDING: Open-coat aluminum oxide sanding
sheets are recommended for most wood or
metal sanding applications, as this synthetic
material cuts quickly and wears well.
