INSTALLING SANDPAPER
WARNING:
Unplug the sander
from the power source before
installing or changing the sandpaper.
1. Lift up and outward on the front
and rear sandpaper clamp levers (6)
at the front and rear of the backing
pad (7) (Fig. C).
2. Insert one end of the ¼ sheet
sandpaper (10) with grit side up into
the open front sandpaper clamp (5),
making sure it is aligned with the
backing pad. Lift the sandpaper
clamp lever up and inward to lock
the sandpaper into the clamp.
3. Wrap the sandpaper sheet around
the backing pad and insert it into the
open rear sandpaper clamp (Fig. 4).
NOTE:
Make sure the sandpaper is
pulled tight over the backing pad for
proper sanding operation.
4. Lift the sandpaper clamp lever up
and inward to lock the sandpaper
into the clamp.
PUNCHING
HOLES
IN
SANDPAPER
The sandpaper must have 8 holes
punched in it to allow the sanding
dust to escape from the working
surface. The pattern of these holes
must match the hole pattern on
the sanding pad. If the sandpaper
you are using does not have the
holes punched, use the hole punch
supplied with the tool to pierce the
sandpaper in the correct locations.
1. Install the sandpaper as shown in
Fig. C.
2. Place the hole punch (9) on a
sturdy flat surface (Fig. D).
