ATTACHING ADHESIVE SANDING DISCS
See Figure 4.
Follow these directions to attach adhesive sanding discs.
■ Unplug the sander.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious injury.
■ Peel the paper backing from the sanding disc.
■ Align the holes in the sanding disc with the holes in
the backing pad.
NOTE: You must line up the holes in the sanding
disc with the holes in the backing pad in order for the
dustless feature to function properly.
■ Press the sticky side of the sanding disc against the
backing pad as firmly as possible.
NOTE: We recommend that you clean the backing
pad occasionally by brushing it lightly with a small
brush. Dust buildup on the backing pad could cause
the sanding disc to not stick properly.
