MOUNTING THE OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

1. Mounting the polyester buff

Since the attachment is a hook-and-loop type as
with the sanding paper, the polyester buff can be
mounted by just pressing it onto the pad 

(Fig. 14)

.

When using a polyester buff, adjust the dial to 1
– 3 on the scale.

2. Mounting the dust cover

Mounting the dust cover will improve dust collec-
tion. Place a part of the inner ring of the dust cover
into the groove on the bottom of the sander and
stretch the rest of the dust cover so that it goes
into the groove. 

(Fig. 15)

 Use it in accordance with

your job.

3. Mounting the cleaner adapter (Fig. 16)

After mounting dust collector hose onto the cleaner
adapter, mount the cleaner adapter onto the unit
in the same way as mounting the dust bag.

HOW TO REPLACE THE PAD

CAUTION:

Please replace the pad as soon as it is cut
or damaged. If it is not replaced, there is
the danger of its flying apart.

Hold the pad down with one hand and remove the center
bolt with the hexagonal bar wrench that comes with the
sander. (It is in the rear part of the switch handle.) After
removing the bolt, take off the pad and replace it. When
mounting the pad, make sure that the protrusions on the
sander match with the holes in the pad. 

(Fig. 17)

 Also, for

more leverage when turning the bolt, stick a screwdriver
through a suction hole into the notch in the housing. This
will stabilize the pad and make it easier to remove the bolt.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Emptying and cleaning the Dust Bag

If the dust bag contains too much saw dust, dust
collection will be affected. Empty the dust bag when
it gets full.
Remove the dust bag, open the fastener, and dis-
pose of the contents.

2. Inspecting the sanding paper

Since use of worn-out sanding paper will degrade
efficiency and cause possible damage to the pad,
replace the sanding paper as soon as excessive
abrasion is noted.

3. Inspecting the mounting screws:

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of the
screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Fail-
ure to do so could result in serious hazard.

4. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the
power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding
does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or
water.

5. Servicing

Consult an authorized Service Agent in the event
of power tool failure.
