Repeat the same process for the other end of the base,
maintaining the proper paper tension.
After inserting the paper, make sure the clamping part
hold it securely. Otherwise the paper will be loose and
subject to slippage, resulting in uneven sanding
operation.

Dust bag
008301
The use of the dust bag makes sanding operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit the
bag's entry port onto the dust spout on the tool. Make
sure that the hole in the bag's entry port is just over the
pimple-like protrusion on the dust spout.
For the best results, empty the dust bag when it becomes
approximately half full, tapping it lightly to remove as
much dust as possible.
