Sanding sheets with hook and loop fastening: Align one side of the sandpaper flush with one side of the Backing Pad (6) then attach the sandpaper to the Backing Pad and press it firmly into place. Ensure the holes in the paper align with the holes in the Backing Pad for efficient dust extraction.
Rough Sanding: Attach coarse grade sand paper. Apply only light pressure to the Finishing Sander so that it runs at a higher sanding rate, achieving a high rate of removal. Fine Sanding: Attach fine grade sand paper. Vary the amount of pressure applied to the Finishing Sander, and/or alter the sanding rate to achieve the best results.
