Selecting the right grade of sandpaper

Different grades of sanding paper

can be purchased from your local

hardware store. Available grades

are: Coarse, Medium and Fine.
Use a coarse grit to sand down

rough finishes, medium grit to

smooth the work and fine grit to

finish off.
It is best to make a trial run

on a scrap piece of material to

determine the optimum grades of

sandpaper for a particular job.

Attaching a sanding sheet

WARNING.

Remove the plug from the socket before

carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

WARNING.

Never use the sander unless the entire base is

fitted with sandpaper.
1. Select the required grade of sandpaper.

Hook and loop sandpaper

2. Match the holes in a suitable

sheet with the holes in the

base (4) and press the sheet

to the base to attach it. To

remove the sheet, peel it

away from the base.

Ordinary sandpaper

(non-hook & loop)

3. Release the paper clamp (5)

from both sides of the sander.

4. Insert the end of the

sandpaper under one clamp

and pull the paper tight over

the base (4) ensuring the

holes align with those in the

base and then clamp the

other side.

5. The paper should be kept tightly clamped over the

base, otherwise there could be excessive wear of the

base material.

WARNING.

Do not continue to use the sander with a

sanding sheet that is over worn or damaged.

WARNING.

Do not use the same sanding sheet for wood

and metal. Metal particles become embedded in the

sandpaper and will scour a wooden surface.

WARNING.

Take care to regularly clean out the build up of

dust on the base underneath the sandpaper and not to let

the sandpaper wear completely down before replacing it.

Failure to observe these two precautionary measures can

lead to damage to the hooks and loops on the base and

the sandpaper will not attach properly.

Using the hole punch

If the sandpaper installed does not have holes it will be

necessary to punch holes into the sandpaper using the

hole punch (9) provided.
1. Place the hole punch on a level surface.
2. After fitting the sandpaper to the sander align the base

of the sander with the hole punch and push down on

the sander until the hole punch pierces the sandpaper.

3. Remove the sander from the hole punch.

Dust extraction

fitted with sandpaper.

WARNING.

Remove the plug

from the socket before carrying

out any adjustment, servicing

or maintenance.
Attach the dust extraction

canister (3) to the sander

by pushing and twisting the

bayonet fitting.
