Attaching Flap Sander
1. DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER!
2. When removed from the shipping box, the
flap sander is held together by two tie wraps.
Hold the assembly together from top to bot-
tom, then remove the ties and store them for
future use.
Note: If the brushes should come loose
from the end plates during this step, refer
to Replacing Flap Sandpaper/Brushes on
Page 19 for detailed instructions on how to
put the assembly back together.
3. Position the flap sander so the sanding sur-
face of the paper is facing you, then carefully
slide it onto the left hand arbor, as shown in
Figure 10.

sander arbor bolt and flange into the spindle,

tighten the bolt.

and tightens by rotating it counterclockwise.
