Put an application tool (optional accessory) on the tool
flange so that the protrusions of the tool flange fit in the
holes in the application tool and secure the application
tool by tightening the bolt firmly with the hex wrench.
When using sanding application tool, mount the
application tool on the sanding pad so that it matches the
sanding pad direction.
The sanding pad has a hook and loop type fitting system
which allows easy and rapid fitting of a sanding paper.
As sanding papers have holes for dust extraction, mount
a sanding paper so that the holes in a sanding paper
match those in the sanding pad.
To remove a sanding paper, raise its end and peel it off.
Loosen and remove the application tool installation bolt
using a hex wrench and then take off the application tool.
