INSTALLING/REMOVING SANDING SHEETS (FIG. 6)
A diamond shaped platen uses a hook and loop
adhesion system to attach the sanding sheets.
The platen allows you to use it on large flat
surfaces and tight spots or corners.
1. Attach the sanding platen (K) as described
under Installing/Removing Accessories.
2. Align the edges on the sanding sheet, with
the edge of the sanding platen and press the
sanding sheet (L) onto the platen.
3. Firmly press the base with the sanding sheet
attached against a flat surface and briefly
switch the tool on. This provides for good
adhesion between the platen and the sanding
sheet and also helps to prevent premature
wear.
4. When the tip of the sanding sheet becomes worn, detach the sheet from the
platen, rotate and reapply.
