Also, do not use attachments or accessories not
recommended for use with this product. Any such use
could result in possible serious personal injury.

REMOVE SANDING DISC BEFORE STORAGE

Do not store your sander with a sanding disc installed. Heat
generated from sanding causes the pressure sensitive
adhesive to flow and form a tight bond between the backing
pad and sanding disc.

Removing the sanding disc soon after you have finished a
sanding operation avoids letting the adhesive set up. If the
sanding disc is left on the backing pad for an extened period
of time after use, the adhesive will set up and cause the
sanding disc to become difficult to remove. It may also tear
when removing. When this situation occurs, it becomes
difficult to clean the backing pad for the next sanding disc.

NOTE:

 If you forget to remove the sanding disc after a

sanding operation, sand for a few minutes to soften the
adhesive backing before attempting to remove sanding disc.
