Installation of Hook & Loop Sandpaper

 

on the 

Silver-Line SL-8V2 Floor Sander 

No Tools Required! 

 

Turn off the sander & unplug from outlet 
 
Tilt the SL-8V2 back onto the handle and lift the drum cover for easy installation  
 
Roll the drum around until you locate the metal paper installation slot.    
 
Holding the paper with the grit side out (hook towards the drum), insert the leading edge into the 
slot.  Slide the paper side to side in the slot to ensure it is bottomed out.  For proper alignment, the 
edge of the paper must make contact with the bottom of the slot across the full eight inches (8”).    
 
Roll the drum towards the floor and press the paper to the drum, attaching the hook and loop.    
 
Pressing the firmly to the drum.    
 
Press along the whole length of paper, making certain the paper goes on the drum evenly.    
 
The back edge of the paper should end at the metal slot.    
 
Lower the drum cover and return the sander to its upright position resting on the rear of the 
chassis.   
 
Plug the machine in to an outlet, turn it on and slowly lower the drum to the surface being sanded as 
you walk forward.  Lift the drum off the floor as you reach the end of the room, walk backwards on 
the same path and lower the drum to sand the floor as you return to the oth er end of the room.  

Sand in both directions with the Silver-Line SL-8V2 floor sander! 
 

To remove used paper, pull straight off from edge.
