of dust ensure the holes in the abrasive disc are aligned
with those in the backing pad.
To remove the worn abrasive disc, simply pull away
from the hook and loop and re-apply a new disc.

VACUUM ADAPTER:
The vacuum adaptor attaches to the sander in the same

achieve efficient dust removal.
GENERAL SANDING INFORMATION:
Select the correct grit to obtain the desired finish. The
higher the grit number the finer the finish. For
removing larger amounts of material a 60/80 grit is
ideal. When removing paint from a wood surface the
grit will have a tendency to clog.
Replace abrasive disc when clogged with material or
when surface/edge has rips, cracks or worn areas.
NOTE: Abrasive disc and the sander backing pad are
consumable items.
