PROFILE TO MOUNTING PLATE
Individual profiles may be mounted to either the Single Profile Mounting Plate, or the Angled
Profile Mounting Plate. The individual profiles are simply pressed into the slot on the mounting
plate by hand. They can be removed from the mounting plate by pulling outward on one end of
the profile to loosen it from the slot.
ABRASIVES
There are two different types of abrasives that can be used with the Profile Sander:
HOOK
LOOP SHEETS:
Precut sheets with hook loop backing and dust extraction holes.
This abrasive is used with the diamond shaped Hook Loop Pad (No. 259.591). Align the
abrasive with the sander pad and press into place with the palm of your hand; use a light
twisting motion to lock the hooks into the loops. To remove abrasive: lift a corner of the
abrasive with your fingernail and peel it off. These abrasives may be removed and reattached
several times.
PSA ROLLS:
wide rolls with pressure sensitive adhesive. This abrasive is used with
the individual profiles and with the extended “shutter” pad. Unroll a strip of abrasive to fit the
particular profile (or pad), and cut to length with scissors.
NOTE:
For best results, the abrasive
should cover all of the profile that is exposed below the profile holder. Firmly press the
abrasive in place on the profile (or pad). To remove abrasive: lift a corner of the abrasive with
your fingernail and peel it off. Dispose of the removed abrasive; it is not reusable.
NOTES:
PSA Pads and Profiles must be clean for the abrasives to adhere properly. The pads
and profiles may be cleaned with soap and water as necessary.
PSA Rolls must be stored in a dust-free environment to prevent contamination of the
adhesive.
ATTACHING DUST WAND
NOTE:
There is a wide variety of accessories, including a dust wand, available to fit the
FLEX Profile Sander. Please refer to your FLEX Catalog to determine if the dust wand is
supplied as standard equipment with your particular Profile Sander Package. The dust
wand is available as an Accessory, and may be used with any FLEX Model PS 206
Profile Sander.
The 259.593 Dust Wand is used with the Model PS 206 Profile Sander, the 259.591 Hook
Loop Pad and corresponding Abrasives. The dust wand requires an external vacuum source
(shop
or dust collection system). To assemble dust wand to sander:
Insert dust wand pin (A) Fig. 13, into hole (B) Fig. 13, (in the Profile Sander).
2. Thread knob (C) Fig. 14, into sander, and tighten firmly.
3. Connect the dust wand to your vacuum source with a
vacuum hose.
TO START AND STOP SANDER
The Profile Sander is equipped with a “rocker” type switch. The front end of the switch button
is
0, and the rear end of the button is
I.
Depress the front (0), end of the switch button to make sure the switch is OFF. Make sure
the power circuit voltage is the same as shown on the specification plate on the Sander.
2. Connect Sander to power circuit.
3. While holding Sander firmly, and off of work surface, depress the rear (I), end of the switch
button to start the Sander.
4. When you are finished sanding, lift the Sander off the work and depress the front (0), end
of the switch button to stop the Sander.
