installing/rEMOving sanDing shEEts (fig. 5)
A diamond shaped platen uses a hook and loop
adhesion system to attach the sanding sheets. The
platen allows you to use it on large flat surfaces and
tight spots or corners.
1. Attach the sanding platen (i) as described under
Installing/Removing Accessories .
2. Align the edges on the sanding sheet, with
the edge of the sanding platen and press the
sanding sheet (j) onto the platen.
3. Firmly press the base with the sanding sheet
attached against a flat surface and briefly switch
the tool on. This provides for good adhesion
between the platen and the sanding sheet and
also helps to prevent premature wear.
4. When the tip of the sanding sheet becomes
worn, detach the sheet from the platen, rotate
and reapply.
