Installing or removing abrasive
paper
Open the paper clamp by raising on the lever to release
from the locking port and then Insert the paper end into
the clamping part, aligning the paper edges even and
parallel with the sides of the base. (Bending the paper
beforehand makes attachment easier). Once the paper
is in place, return the lever to its original position.
► Fig.2: 1. Clamping part 2. Abrasive paper 3. Clamp
lever
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.
When you use an abrasive paper without dust-suc-
tion holes, punch holes with the punch plate (optional
accessory).
Place the punch plate 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.3: 1. Punch plate
To remove the paper, release the paper clamp as stated
above.
Dust bag
► Fig.4: 1. Dust spout 2. Dust bag
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
coming off during operation.
For the best results, empty the dust bag when it
becomes approximately half full, tapping it lightly to
remove as much dust as possible.
