• When the sanding base tip is worn, it can be

reversed or replaced.

• Reverse or replace the worn part.

• Remove the screw.

• Remove the diamond-shaped tip holder from the

sanding base.

• Fit the finger attachment onto the sanding base.

• Fit and tighten the screw.

Dust Collection / Vacuum Port Adaptor

(figure I)

A vacuum hose can be attached to the sander to 

allow for dust collection.

Fire hazard. 

Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings

(polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite in sander dust canister or elsewhere and

cause fire. To reduce risk, empty canister frequently and strictly follow sander manual and

coating manufacturer's instructions.

Fire hazard.

When working on metal surfaces, do not use a vacuum cleaner

because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dustmask. Due to the danger

of fire, do not use your sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.

Hints for optimum use 

• Do not place your hands over the ventilation slots.

• Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.

• Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet. Replace when necessary.

• Always sand with the grain of the wood.

• When sanding new layers of paint before applying another layer, use extra fine grit.

• On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of paint, start with a coarse grit.

On other surfaces, start with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine

grit for a smooth finish.
