To prepare the machine for use follow this procedure:

1.  Familiarize yourself with the machine.  Read all 

danger, warning, and caution statements and the 

Operator’s and Parts Manual before operating the 

machine.  If you or the operator are unable to read 

English, have this manual fully explained before 

attempting to operate this machine.

2.  Attach the handle to the base machine by following 

these instructions:

A.  The handle label should be pointing towards the 

front of the machine and the black iron casting 

should drop down into the top of the base machine 

securely.

B.  Snap the three latches down to the base machine.  

The hooks on the latches should slip over the 

keepers that are attached to the base machine.  

The latches should require a slight push to snap 

them into place (See Figure 3).

C.  Plug the cord at the bottom of the handle into cord 

coming out of the machine base and slightly twist 

to lock it in place (See Figure 3A).

3.  Install or replace sandpaper.  The sandpaper should 

be replaced if it is ripped, torn or the hook material is 

too worn to allow attachment of sandpaper.  To install 

or replace the sandpaper follow these instructions:

A.  Make sure the power cord is not connected to a 

wall outlet or any power source.

B.  Lock handle in the upright position.
C.  Tilt the machine back until it fully rests on the 

handle.

D.  While kneeling and facing the bottom of the 

machine, remove the existing sandpaper (See 

Figure 4).

E.  Press the new sandpaper against the grip face until 

the hooks in the driver have set into the sandpaper 

(See Figure 4A).

F.  Return machine to the upright position.

CAUTION:

Damage to the grip face on the driver will occur if the 

machine is operated without sandpaper installed.

CAUTION:

Always store the machine with sandpaper installed on 

all of the drivers to prevent damage to the grip face.

WARNING:

Never put yourself or let others be in a position to get 

injured if the machine should tip or fall while replacing 

the pad or changing abrasive.
