OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BO3700
Installing or removing abrasive paper
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the abrasive
paper.
For conventional type of abrasive paper with pre-
punched holes (standard equipment):
Press the clamper. Insert the paper end into the clamper,
aligning the holes in the paper with those in the pad.
Then release the clamper to secure the paper. Repeat
the same process for the other end of the base, maintain-
ing the proper paper tension. (Fig. 1)
For conventional type of abrasive paper without pre-
punched holes (available on the market):
Press the clamper. Insert the paper end into the clamper,
aligning the paper edges even and parallel with the sides
of the base. Then release the clamper to secure the
paper. Repeat the same process for the other end of the
base, maintaining the proper paper tension. Place the
punch plate (optional accessory) over the paper so that
the guide of the punch plate is flush with the sides of the
base. Then press the punch plate to make holes in the
paper. (Fig. 2)
For hook-and-loop type of abrasive paper with pre-
punched holes (optional accessory):
Remove the pad for the conventional type of abrasive
paper from the tool with a screwdriver. (Fig. 3)
Install the pad for the hook-and-loop type of abrasive
paper (optional accessory) on the tool. Tighten the
screws firmly to secure the pad. Remove all dirt or for-
eign matter from the pad. Attach the paper to the pad,
aligning the holes in the paper with those in the pad.
(Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
Always use hook-and-loop type of abrasive papers.
Never use pressure-sensitive abrasive paper.
Installing dust bag (Fig. 5)
Attach the dust bag onto the dust spout. The dust spout
is tapered. When attaching the dust bag, push it onto the
dust spout firmly as far as it will go to prevent it from com-
ing off during operation. For the best results, empty the
dust bag when it becomes about half full, tapping it lightly
to remove as much dust as possible.
