 use if broken or defective.

INSTALLING THE SANDPAPER (See Fig. 3)

      WARNING: 

Your sander should 

NEVER

 be connected to the power source 

when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing 

sandpaper, cleaning or when it is not in use. Disconnecting the sander will prevent 

accidental starting, that could cause serious personal injury.

!

      WARNING: 

Failure to unplug the sander could result in accidental 

starting causing possible serious personal injury.

!

NOTE: 

Remove cyclonic dust box assembly when installing sandpaper.

 ALWAYS 

remember to reattach the cyclonic dust box assembly before beginning sanding 

operation (see page 14, Fig. 4).

NOTE: 

The sanding discs must line up with the 2 backing pads in order for the dust 

collection feature of the sander to function properly.

NOTE:

 For best adhesion, we recommend that you clean the backing pads and the 

sanding discs backing occasionally by brushing them lightly with a small brush.

 2.  Align the sanding discs with the hook and loop backing pad.

 3.  Press the sanding discs against the backing pads as firmly as possible.
