CHANGING THE SANDING SHEETS (Fig. 7)

The sander is packed with sanding sheets and pads designed
for a variety of uses. To change sheets, simply pull the used
sheet off the base and attach the desired sheet by pressing
the sheet or pad onto the base of the sander.

PAPER HOLE PUNCH (Fig. 8)

A paper hole punch template has been supplied with your
sander for aligning and punching holes in sandpaper. The
punched holes must align with the holes in the sander
cushion.

1.

Install sandpaper on your sander.

2.

Align sander pad over the paper hole punch. See
Figure 8.

3.

Push down on the sander.

ROTATING THE SANDING SHEETS (Fig. 9)

The majority of wear in a precision sanding application occurs
at the tip of the sanding sheet. The unique Tri-Flex design of
the sanding sheets and scrubbing pads allows you to detach
and rotate the top two thirds of each and extend the  life of
the pad or sheet.

To rotate the top of the pad or sheet, simply remove the top
two thirds along the perforation. Rotate the pad or sheet so
that a clean corner is located at the tip of the base. Press
the pad or sheet firmly onto the pad.
