Do not operate this tool until you have read and understood the entire instruction manual.
To install a sandpaper disc:
1. Unplug the machine.
2. Peel away the worn-out sandpaper disc, leaving the sponge backing pad in place.
3. Carefully centre the new sandpaper disc and press into place. It will be held securely by the hook and loop
backing.
To replace the hook and loop sponge pad:
The sponge pad must be perfectly flat to get good sanding results. If it is deformed or damaged it will cause very
uneven sanding. Always replace it when damaged. It is hook and loop on both sides, so to replace it, peel it away
from the hook and loop on the sanding plate base and, taking great care to keep it perfectly centred, affix a new one.
The brush bristles on the edge of the sanding plate cover:
The brush bristles on the edge of the sanding plate cover serve two purposes. They keep the sanding disc properly
aligned with the work surface without gouging and they also help the efficiency of the dust collection by the vacuum
cleaner. These brush bristles will wear with continued use.
The sanding plate cover should be replaced when the bristles are too worn to ensure effective dust collection and
stabilisation of the sanding head.
To replace the cover, follow these steps:
