7.3 Attaching the sandpaper
 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the main
plug.
 To attach sanding paper, first remove all dirt or
foreign matter from the sanding base plate. Then
attach the sanding paper to the sanding base plate,
using the hook-and-loop system of the sanding
paper and the sanding base plate.
 Make sure the perforations in the paper coincide
with those on the sanding base plate, to ensure
optimal dust collection.
 The sandpaper should rest flush on the base plate
and must not come loose.
 Select sandpaper with the correct grain size.
 You can be sure to find the right sandpaper among
our product range (see accessories).
7.4 Collecting the dust
For a better dust extraction of the working surface, your sanding machine can be connected to
the ordinary vacuum cleaner for house-use. Ask your vacuum cleaner distributor for the
correct dust bag connector.
