1. Unplug sander.
2. Use 1/4 sheet of sandpaper (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") (see “Selecting Sand-
paper and Grits”).
3. To open clamp grip, pull out clamp lever.
4. With grit side out, place sandpaper between clamp grip and base
plate while aligning edges of sandpaper with pad edges.
5. To secure sandpaper, release clamp grip and return it to its original
position.

under opposite clamp as above. Pre-folding sandpaper will make
attachment easier.
NOTE: Sandpaper must be drawn as tight as possible for best
results.
To use punchplate:
1. Align bent edges of plate with edges of sandpaper so sandpaper is
completely covered by plate.
2. Puncture holes in sandpaper by firmly pressing punch plate spikes
through sandpaper.

Punch Plate (Cat. No. 6017 only) (Fig. 2)
Cat. No. 6017 is equipped with a punch plate which punctures holes in
sandpaper. These holes allow dust to be removed from work surface

with punch plate during Sander operation to keep the dust pick-up sys-
tem working efficiently.
