outward angle, on either the right or left side of the Profile Sander. This plate permits the profiles
to be used in areas that are inaccessible with the Single Profile Mounting Plate. Special PSA
Abrasives are available in rolls that can be cut-to-fit the various profiles.

on louvered shutters.
Individual Profiles are available in three basic styles. Several sizes are available in each style (see
FLEX Catalog). The three basic styles are:
Used to sand concave surfaces. Available in several radii to match common
Convex Profiles
configurations.
Used to sand convex surfaces. Available in several radii to match common
Concave Profiles
configurations.
Used to sand the bottom and sides of slots or grooves. Available in several
Angled Profiles
angles to match common configurations.
By selecting the proper type of abrasive, the finest finishes can be attained. In general, coarser
grit sizes will remove the most material and finer grit sizes will produce the best finishes.
Best results will be obtained if you select the proper size and type of abrasives. Start the work
with an abrasive grit just coarse enough to remove the high spots and excessive roughness.
Follow with a second sanding using a grit one or two grades finer. Continue with successively
finer grits until the desired finish is obtained (see FLEX Catalog). Cut, do not tear, the abrasive
rolls to size.

same way. Each pad or mounting plate has two posts (A) Fig. 7, that are used to attach it to the
Profile Sander.
One pad post fits into a pocket (B) Fig. 7, in the Profile Sander and the other post is locked into
place by a tab (C) Fig. 7. The mounting post area (of all the pads and mounting plates), is
symmetrical: the pad (or mounting plate), can be attached to the Profile Sander with either end
forward. This allows the use of both pointed ends of each sheet of pad abrasive, and permits
the profile holders to be mounted in the best position for each particular application.
To attach a pad or mounting plate to the Profile Sander:
DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER SOURCE.
1. CAUTION:
2. Position one of the pad (or mounting plate), posts (A) Fig. 7, into the pocket (B) Fig. 7, of
the Profile Sander (see Fig. 8).
3. Depress latch button (D) Fig. 9, seat pad to sander and release latch button to secure the
pad in place as shown in Fig. 10.
4. To remove pad (or mounting plate): Depress latch
from sander.
