PAD
The sander is packed with sanding sheets and scrubbing
pads designed for a variety of uses. To change sheets and
SANDING
pads, simply pull the used sheet off the base and attach the
SHEET
desired sheet by pressing the sheet or pad onto the base
of the sander.
ROTATING THE SANDING SHEETS
See Figure 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 allows you to detach and rotate the top
two thirds of each and extend the life of the sheet.
To rotate the top of the sheet, simply remove the top two
thirds along the perforation. Rotate the sheet so that a clean
corner is located at the tip of the base. Press the sheet firmly
onto the pad.
NOTE: Scrubbing and polishing pads are not perforated
and cannot be rotated.
