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.
