Attaching abrasive paper
CAUTION :
Always be sure that the tool
is
switched off and unplugged before installing or removing
the paper.
Raise the lever. Insert the paper end into
the clamper, aligning the paper edges even
and parallel with the sides of the base.
(Prebending the paper makes attachment
easier.) Once the paper
is
in place, return
the lever to
i t s
original position.
Repeat the same process for the other end
of the base, maintaining the proper paper
tension.
CAUTION:
After inserting the paper, make sure the teeth of the clamper hold it securely. Otherwise
the paper will be loose and subject to slippage, resulting in uneven sanding operation.
Punch plate
(standard equipment for Model BO4550 optional accessory for Model 8045502)
When using the dust bag, make holes in the
paper using the punch plate as follows:
Hold the tool with the paper surface facing
up. Place the punch plate over the paper
so
that the bent sides of the punch plate are
flush with the paper edges. Then press the
punch plate to make holes in the paper.
CAUTION:
Be sure to remove the punch plate before
operation.
Dust bag
(standard equipment for Model BO4550
optional accessory for Model 8045502)
The use of the dust bag makes sanding
operations clean and dust collection easy.
To attach the dust bag, fit the bag's entry
port onto the dust spout on the tool
so
that
the hole in the entry port is just over the
protrusion on the dust spout.
For the best results, empty the dust bag
when
it
becomes about half full, tapping
it
lightlyto remove as much dust as possible.
