Replacing the Sanding Sheet
(see figure A)
The sanding plate
6
is fitted with Velcro backing
for quick and easy fastening of sanding sheets
with Velcro adhesion.
–
When attaching a new sanding sheet, remove
any dust or debris from the sanding plate
6
(e. g. with a brush).
–
Before attaching the sanding sheet
5
, free the
Velcro backing of the sanding plate
6
from any
debris by tapping against it in order to enable
optimum adhesion.
–
To ensure optimum dust extraction, pay atten-
tion that the punched holes in the sanding
sheet match with the holes in the sanding
plate.
–
Position the sanding sheet
5
flush alongside
one edge of the sanding plate
6
, then lay the
sanding sheet onto the sanding plate and
press it against it with a light turning motion
in clockwise direction.
–
To remove the sanding sheet
5
, grasp it at one
of the tips and pull it off from the sanding
plate

.
Sanding accessories, such as fleece pads/polish-
ing cloth pads, are attached to the sanding plate
in the same manner.
Selecting the Sanding Sheet
Depending on the material to be worked and the
required rate of material removal, different sand-
ing sheets are available:
For reworking or polishing, especially of metal
and stone, use fleece/polishing cloth pad.
Depending on the desired surface quality of the
workpiece, different fleece types or polishing
cloth pads are to be used.
