TROUBLESHOOTING
REPLACING THE SHAFT CAP
The plastic shaft cap on the back of the triangular base pad (Fig. G
- 1) and the round base pad is a consumable item that needs to be
routinely replaced. Spare caps are included on the back of the trian-
gular pad (Fig. G - 2). Use the spanner to remove the worn shaft cap
and replace with a new cap.
Adjust the angle of the shaft cap with a spanner to match the hole
alignment (Fig. B) before attaching it back onto the drywall sander.
REPLACING THE SANDING PAD
First, detach the sanding disc from the sanding pad.
FOR TRIANGULAR SANDING PAD:
Unscrew the three screws (Fig. H - 1) located on the outer corners
of the sanding pad and the three screws (Fig. H - 2) on the flange.
Replace the pad with an identical part suited for this particular model
of drywall sander. Attach firmly in place with the screws.
FOR ROUND SANDING PAD:
Insert the hex wrench into the hexagonal screw (Fig. I - 1) located in
the center of the hook and loop sanding pad. Hold the pad firmly
while turning the wrench to unscrew the center hex screw. Replace
the pad with an identical part suited for this particular model of dry-
wall sander. Attach firmly in place using the hexagonal screw.
