- fit an abrasive pad to the
sanding block. Carefully line the pad up with the
face of the sanding block and push down. The
pad is both a fine abrasive and a backing pad for
the coated abrasive sheets. It is important that
the pad is maintained in good condition and not
used beyond its useful working life.
5.
- peel off the backing to
exposure the adhesive back and carefully fix the
abrasive to the face of the abrasive pad making

the abrasive may be fitted with the sanding block
left in place or it may be removed if required.
