of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than
18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When
using more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS


WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start‑up can cause injury.

TO MAKE 4-1/2" X 5-1/2" (11 cm X 14 cm)
SANDPAPER
a. Cut full‑sized (9" x 11" [23 cm x 28 cm]) sandpaper
into 1/4 sheets of 4‑1/2" x 5‑1/2" (11 cm X 14 cm).
b. Cut 1/2 sheet sandpaper into two 4‑1/2" x 5‑1/2" (11 cm
X 14 cm) sheets.
FITTING REGULAR SANDING SHEETS
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 B.
Concentrate on softening the edges to be clamped.
2. Release the rear paper clamp
clamp levers
tabs 8 on the base plate/pad
3. Disengage the front paper clamp
holding pressure on the front clamp button
the 4‑1/2" edge of the abrasive paper under the front paper
clampuntil if hits the paper‑limiting ribs
paper clamp to secure the front of the paper.
4. Stretch paper over the base plate/pad and begin to pivot
the rear paper clamp around to its locking position. Lock
one side clamp lever by placing it behind the holding
tab 8 (Fig. E) 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).
