Installing Non-Adhesive Sandpaper (See Figs. 3, 3a and 3b)

ASSEMBLY

This sander has a cushion that allows you to use either non-adhesive sandpaper or

pressure sensitive adhesive-backed sandpaper. The non-adhesive sandpaper clamps

to the front and back of the platen and cushion. Adhesive backed sandpaper is applied

directly onto the cushion.
This sander has a dust collection system that collects dust from the work surface through

holes located in the platen and cushion on the bottom of the sander. A paper punch

template is included for accurately punching holes into the 1/4-sheet sandpaper.

INSTALLING THE SANDPAPER (See Figs. 3, 3a, 3b on page 14 and Fig. 4 on page 15)

WARNING:

our 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.

NOTE: Holes must be punched into the paper for the dust collection system to

work properly. See instructions on page 16 to punch holes.
