INSTALLING SANDPAPER
WARNING: Unplug the sander before replacing sandpaper.
NOTE: The sander comes complete with a
clip style mounting system.
1. Use the sandpaper punch tool (included)
to make holes in your sandpaper that
perfectly match the sanding pad.
2. Push the right side / back spring clip lever
in toward the side of the tool to release it
and swing it down, opening the paper jaw at
the back.
3. Insert one end of the paper into the rear
spring-clip jaw, grit side down and toward the back.
4. Close the spring-clip jaw by swinging the
lever forward and hooking it in place
behind the tab on the right side of the tool.
5. Wrap the paper around the pad at the
bottom of the tool.
6. Release the left side/front spring clip and
open that clamp jaw.
7. Insert the front end of the paper into the
front clamp as far as
possible, drawing
the paper as tightly
as possible across
the bottom pad.
8. Close the front
spring-clip jaw by
swinging the lever
back and hooking it
in place behind the
tab on the left side of
the tool.
9. If the sandpaper
loosens during use,
loosen the clips and
re-insert the paper.
