ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
!
Your sander should NEVER be connected to the power source
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing
sandpaper, cleaning or when it is not in use. Disconnecting the sander will prevent
accidental starting, that could cause serious personal injury.
INSTALLING THE SANDPAPER (See Figs. 3, 3a, 3b and 4)
This sander has a cushion that allows you to use non-adhesive sandpaper. The non-
adhesive sandpaper clamps to the front and back of the platen and cushion.
This sander has a dust collection system that collects dust from the worksurface through
10 holes located in the platen and cushion on the bottom of the sander. A paper punch
template is included for accurately punching holes into the 1/3-sheet sandpaper.
NOTE: Holes must be punched into the paper for the dust collection system to
work properly. See instructions on page 14 to punch holes.

This will release the tension on the paper clamps located at the front and back of the sander
that hold the paper in position on the cushion (see Fig. 3a).
