2.
Push and hold down the clamp lever on either
front or rear end of the pad, and slide it away from
the stopper so the clamp is released from its locked
position.
3. Pull the clamp lever outwards as far as possible to
create a space between the clamp and side wall of the
sanding base in which one end of abrasive paper can
be inserted.
4.
Slip one end of the abrasive paper into the space
between the clamp and sanding base.
5. Reposition the abrasive paper so it is finely over-
laid on the pad surface.
6. Set the clamp lever back in a locked position to
clamp the end of abrasive paper securely.
7.
Release the clamp on the other end, and have the
other end of abrasive paper ready to be clamped.
8. Maintain a proper tension on abrasive paper, and
then set the clamp lever on the other end in a locked
position.

Using triangular/rectangular abrasive
paper
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Make sure to install a hook-and-
loop pad correctly and securely. A loose attach-
ment will run out of balance and cause an excessive
vibration resulting in loss of control.
CAUTION:
Be sure that a hook-and-loop pad
and abrasive paper are aligned and securely
attached.
CAUTION:
Only use hook-and-loop abrasive
papers. Never use pressure-sensitive abrasive
papers.
NOTICE:
The cap or the O-ring may come out of
the sanding base while replacing the pad. Be sure
to set the cap or the O-ring back in the circular
hole or the circular groove around the center of
the base before installing the optional pad.

2.
Replace the standard-equipped pad with a trian-
gular/rectangular pad.
3. Re-tighten the screws firmly to secure the triangu-
lar/rectangular pad.
