OPERATION
INSTALLING SANDPAPER
The cushion on the sander gives you the option of using
either non-adhesive sandpaper that clamps to the platen or
adhesive backed sandpaper with pressure sensitive adhesive
backing that sticks to the cushion.
INSTALLING NON-ADHESIVE SANDPAPER
See Figure 2.
Unplug the sander.
Inspect sandpaper before installing; do not use if broken
or defective.
If replacing sandpaper, remove old sandpaper. To remove
paper, release paper clamp by lifting up on lever, and
disengaging it from the tab on the platen.
Insert end of new 1/4 sheet sandpaper approximately
1/2 in. under the paper clamp.
NOTE: 1/2 in. clamping of sandpaper is necessary for
multi-sheet stacking of paper.
Lift up on paper clamp lever and lock into place. Apply
downward pressure to conform sandpaper to platen.
Wrap sandpaper around cushion. Lift lever on opposite
end of sander and insert loose end of sandpaper under
paper clamp. Fit sandpaper against cushion tightly.
Lift up on lever and lock into place.
INSTALLING ADHESIVE SANDPAPER
See Figure 2.
Unplug the sander.
If replacing adhesive sandpaper, remove old sandpaper
by peeling it off cushion.
NOTE: Sand for a few minutes to soften the adhesive
backing before attempting to remove old sandpaper.
If replacing regular sandpaper, release paper clamp by
lifting up on lever and disengaging it from the tab on the
platen. Remove non-adhesive sandpaper, then lift up on
paper clamp lever and lock it into place.
Carefully peel adhesive backing from new 1/4 sheet
sandpaper.
Position sandpaper, making sure front edge of sandpaper
is aligned with front edge of the cushion, then carefully
press sticky side of sandpaper on cushion.
NOTE: Sandpaper must be aligned with the front edge
of the cushion for proper functioning of the flush sanding
feature.
NOTE: The cushion on the sander is approximately 1/4 in.
smaller than precut adhesive-backed sanding sheets. If
desired you may want to trim off the overhang of sandpaper
on the back side of cushion. The cushion has been made
smaller so that multiple sheets of non-adhesive sandpaper
can be installed.
