When using sanding application tool, mount the
application tool on the sanding pad so that it matches
the sanding pad direction.
The sanding pad has a hook and loop type fitting
system which allows easy and rapid fitting of a sanding
paper.
As sanding papers have holes for dust extraction,
mount a sanding paper so that the holes in a sanding
paper match those in the sanding pad.
To remove a sanding paper, raise its end and peel it off.
To remove the holder bolt, follow the installation
procedures in reverse.
