Installing Accessories
(Fig. 2, 3, 4, 5)
Remove dirt and dust from the sanding plate
e.g., with a brush, before attaching a new sand-
ing sheet.
For 1/3 and Detail Sheets with a
hook-and-loop Backing
If the sanding plate is fitted with a hook-and
loop fastening, sanding sheets with a hook-and-
loop fastening backing can be secured quickly
and easily.
Tap the hook-and-loop fastening of the sanding
plate before fitting the Sanding Sheet 18 to facil-
itate maximum adhesion. Position the Sanding
Sheet 18 so that is it flush with one side of the
sanding plate, then place the Sanding Sheet on
the sanding plate and press on firmly. To remove
the Sanding Sheet 18, take hold of it by a corner
and pull it away from the sanding plate.
For 1/4 Sheet with a hook-and-
loop Backing
Unlock both Sanding Sheet Clamp 20 levers and
swivel them downwards (Fig. 2).
Insert the Sanding Sheet 18 under the Rear
Clamping Bracket 21. Ensure that the Sand-
ing Sheet 18 is not too short to be correctly
clamped under both Sanding Sheet Clamps 20
and the Rear Clamping Bracket 21. Swivel the
Sanding Sheet Clamp 20 lever back into starting
position, lock it there, and repeat for the other
Sanding Sheet Clamp lever (Fig. 3).
