2. When fitting Hook & Loop
sandpaper match the holes
in a suitable sheet with the
holes in the base.
3. Simply press the sheet to
the base to attach it.
4. To remove the sheet, peel
it away from the base.
CAUTION. Take care to
regularly clean out the build up of dust on the base
underneath the sandpaper and not to let the sandpaper
wear completely down before replacing it. Failure to
observe these two precautionary measures can lead to
damage to the hooks and loops on the platen and the
sandpaper will not attach properly.
5. Ordinary (non Hook & Loop type) sanding sheets
can also be used.
6. Release the paper clamp
(5) from both sides
of the sander.
7. Insert the end of the
sandpaper under one clamp
and pull the paper tight
over the base (4) ensuring
the holes align with those
in the base and then
clamp the other side.
8. The paper should be kept
tightly clamped over the
base, otherwise there could
be excessive wear of the
base material.
WARNING. Never use the
sander unless the entire base
is fitted with sandpaper or
another type of pad.
Using the hole punch
1. If the sandpaper installed does not have holes it will be
necessary to punch holes into the sandpaper using the
hole punch (11) provided.
2. Place the hole punch on
a level surface.
3. After fitting the sandpaper
to the sander align the
base of the sander with
the hole punch and push
down on the sander until
the hole punch pierces the
sandpaper.
4. Remove the sander from
the hole punch.
Dust extraction canister
WARNING. Always ensure that
the tool is switched off and
the plug is removed from the
power point before making any
adjustments or maintenance
procedures.
1. Attach the dust extraction
canister (9) to the sander
by pushing and twisting
the bayonet fitting in a
similar action to inserting a light globe into a lamp.
WARNING. For optimum dust extraction, remove and
empty the canister (10) when it is no more than half
full. Do not use the canister when sanding metal. The
hot metal particles could cause residual wood dust or the
internal bag itself to catch fire.
