NOTE: Bending the paper beforehand makes attach-
ment easier.
Using abrasive paper without dust-
suction hole
1. Cut a sheet of abrasive paper down to an appro-
priate size.
► Fig.5: 1. Abrasive paper 2. Pad
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.

Cover the abrasive paper with the punch plate with
its positioning stoppers adjacent to the corner well fit
onto two of the side edges of the pad and sanding base.

be inserted.
3. Place a sheet of abrasive paper over the pad,
aligning the dust-suction holes in the paper with those
in the pad.

the end of abrasive paper is clamped securely.
6. Release the clamp on the other end, and have the
other end of abrasive paper ready to be clamped.

Using hook-and-loop abrasive paper
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.
For DBO480
1. Remove all dirt and foreign matter from the hook-
and-loop pad.
2. Attach a sheet of optional hook-and-loop abrasive
paper to the pad, aligning the dust-suction holes in the
paper with those in the pad.

3. To remove the abrasive paper, peel it off from the
edge.
For DBO481 and DBO482
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.
