FITTING REGULAR SANDING SHEETS (FIG. 2–5)
For normal operation, assemble the abrasive paper to your unit as
follows:
1. Soften the stiff sandpaper by pulling it over the 90° edge of a
table or other straight edge, as shown in Figure 2. Concentrate
on softening the edges to be clamped.
2. Release the rear paper clamp (F) by pulling up on the side clamp
levers (G) and disengaging them from the tabs (H) on the base
plate/pad (D) as shown in Figure 3.
3. Disengage the front paper clamp (B, Fig. 4) by applying and
holding pressure on the front clamp button (C) while inserting the
4-1/2" edge of the abrasive paper under the front paper clamp
(B) until if hits the paper-limiting ribs (E). Release the front paper
clamp to secure the front of the paper.
4. Stretch paper over the base plate/pad (D) and begin to pivot the
rear paper clamp (F) around to its locking position. Lock one side
clamp lever (G) by placing it behind the tab (H, Fig. 5) on the base
plate/pad and then repeat with the second side clamp lever.
5. If you are using the dust extraction feature, perforate the
sandpaper (see Paper Punch).
FITTING HOOK AND LOOP SANDING SHEETS (FIG. 6)
1. Place the tool on a table, base
plate/pad (D) up.
2. Place the sanding sheet
directly on top of the base
plate/pad (D).
3. Hold the base plate/pad with
one hand and align the dust
extraction holes (L).
4. Press the sheet firmly onto the
base plate/pad.
