OPERATION
TO INSTALL ADHESIVE SANDPAPER
See Figure 3.
Inspect sandpaper before installing. Do not use if broken or
defective.
1.
UNPLUG YOUR SANDER.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental
starting causing serious injury.
2.
If replacing sandpaper, remove old sandpaper by
peeling it off cushion. If removing non-adhesive
sandpaper, release paper clamp by lifting up on paper
clamp lever and disengaging it from the tab on the
platen. Then remove non-adhesive sandpaper, lift
paper clamp lever, and return it to its proper place over
tab on platen.
3.
Carefully peel adhesive backing from new 1/4 sheet
sandpaper.
4.
Position sandpaper into place, then carefully press
sticky side of sandpaper on cushion.

REMOVE SANDPAPER BEFORE STORAGE
Do not store your sander with sandpaper installed. Heat
generated from sanding causes the pressure sensitive
adhesive to flow and form a tight bond between the cushion
and sandpaper.
Removing the sandpaper soon after you have finished a
sanding operation avoids letting the adhesive set up. If the
sandpaper is left on the cushion for an extended period of
time after use, the adhesive will set up and cause the
sandpaper to become difficult to remove. It may also tear
when removing. When this situation occurs, it becomes
difficult to clean the cushion for the next sandpaper.
NOTE: If you forget to remove the sandpaper after a sanding
operation, sand for a few minutes to soften the adhesive
backing before attempting to remove sandpaper.
