PREPARATION & SETUP
WARNING! Failure to unplug your detail sander could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious injury.
Sanding Sheet Installation
Your detail sander is equipped with a hook and loop backing pad (4). This uses
hook and loop technology, which firmly grips the sanding sheets when applied
with moderate pressure.
1. To change, merely peel off the old sanding
sheet, remove dust from the hook and loop
backing pad (4) if necessary, and press the new
sanding sheet in place.
2. Be sure to align the sanding sheet holes with
the holes in the hook and loop backing pad (4).
This allows the dust extraction system to
function effectively (Fig. 1).
After considerable use, the hook and loop backing
pad (4) surface will become worn, and must be
replaced when it no longer offers a firm grip. If the hook and loop backing pad (4)
facing is wearing prematurely, decrease the amount of pressure applied during
operation of the sander. Damage to the hook and loop backing pad (4) is not
covered by the warranty.
Note: Please refer to the maintenance section (page 11) for backing pad
replacement procedure.
Dust Bag
The dust extraction system extracts sanding dust from the work piece through the
holes in the hook and loop backing pad (4). The dust is then transferred through to
the dust extraction port on the rear of the sander housing. To capture this dust, it
is best to attach the dust bag (3).
1. To attach the dust bag (3) simply slide the dust
bag adaptor over the dust extraction port on
the rear of the sander housing (Fig. 2).
2. To remove the dust bag (3), simply pull the
dust bag adaptor backwards away from the
dust extraction port.
Note: For the dust bag (3) to work at its optimum level, empty when it becomes
1/3 full. This allows air to flow through the bag freely, increasing its effectiveness.
