INSTALLING/REMOVING SANDING SHEETS (FIG. 6)
A diamond shaped platen uses a hook
and loop adhesion system to attach the
sanding sheets. The platen allows you
to use it on large flat surfaces and tight
spots or corners.
1. Attach the sanding platen (K) as
described under Installing/
Removing Accessories.
2. Align the edges on the sanding
sheet, with the edge of the sanding
platen and press the sanding sheet
(L) onto the platen.
3. Firmly press the base with the sanding sheet attached against a
flat surface and briefly switch the tool on. This provides for good
adhesion between the platen and the sanding sheet and also
helps to prevent premature wear.
4. When the tip of the sanding sheet becomes worn, detach the
sheet from the platen, rotate and reapply.
