Attaching Abrasive Paper (Fig. D, E, F)
Your sander is designed to use quarter sheet abrasive paper.
A quarter sheet of abrasive paper is measured 4‑1/2" x 5‑1/2"
(114.3 mm x 139.7 mm). This size paper can be made by:
a. Cutting full sized 9" x 11" (228.6 mm x 279.4 mm)
abrasive paper into 1/4 sheets of 4‑1/2" x 5‑1/2"
(114.3 mm x 139.7 mm).
b. Cutting half sheet of abrasive paper into two 4‑1/2" x
5‑1/2" (114.3 mm x 139.7 mm) sheets.
c. Pre‑cut 4‑1/2" x 5‑1/2" (114.3 mm x 139.7 mm)
abrasive paper is available at extra cost.
Fitting Regular Abrasive Sheets
(Fig. D, E, F)
For normal operation, assemble the abrasive paper to your
unit as follows:
1. Soften the stiff abrasive paper by pulling it over the 90 °
edge of a table or other straight edge with abrasive side
up, as shown in Figure D. Concentrate on softening the
edges to be clamped.
2. Release the rear paper clamp
side clamp levers

and disengaging them from the
tabs

on the base plate/pad
3. Disengage the front paper clamp
and holding pressure on the front clamp button
while inserting the 4‑1/2" (114.3 mm) edge of the
abrasive paper under the front paper clamp until if hits
the paper‑limiting ribs
to secure the front of the abrasive paper.
4. Stretch abrasive paper over the base plate/pad
begin to pivot the rear paper clamp around to its locking
position. Lock one side clamp lever by placing it behind
the tab on the base plate/pad and then repeat with the
second side clamp lever.
5. To allow dust extraction feature with bag or vacuum,
perforate the abrasive paper (see Paper Punch).
Paper Punch (Fig. G, H)
CAUTION: Turn off and remove the battery pack from
the tool before making any adjustments or removing
or installing attachments or accessories. Be sure the
switch is in the OFF position.
A paper punch

is provided with your sander to
let you perforate regular abrasive paper to make dust
collection possible.
To Perforate your Abrasive Paper
Install the abrasive paper on the tool as instructed in this
manual. With the sander turned off and battery removed,
place the paper punch on the paper so that the tabs at the
edges of the punch are against any two adjacent sides of the
sanding pad, as shown. Press the punch against the pad so
that the 8 points penetrate the paper, as shown in Figure G.
(Press the punch into the pad as far as it will go.) Remove the
paper punch and the paper is ready.
An alternate method of perforating the paper is to securely
fasten the punch to a suitable work surface. Two holes are
provided in the punch for this purpose. Use #8 flat head

Precautions to Take When Sanding Paint
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due
and
to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust.
The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and
pregnant women.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains
lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the
following precautions when sanding any paint:
1. PERsOnAl sAFETY
No children or pregnant women should enter the
‑
work area where the paint sanding is being done
until all clean up is completed.
A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all
‑
persons entering the work area. The filter should be
replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty
breathing. See your local hardware store for the
proper NIOSH‑approved dust mask.
NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done
‑
in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated
paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up
BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food,
drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area
where dust would settle on them.
2. EnViROnMEnTAl sAFETY
Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
‑
minimize the amount of dust generated.
Areas where paint removal is occurring should be
‑
sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
