OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING HOOK AND LOOP SANDPAPER
1. Before installing sandpaper, make sure the hook and loop fastener base is free of dust and dirt and that the
sander is unplugged with the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.
2. The sanding base will hold any hook and loop sandpaper without clamps or glue. Simply line up the sandpaper
with the hook and loop fastener base and press together, making sure front edge of the sandpaper is aligned with
the front edge of the hook and loop fastener base.
3. To remove used sandpaper, peel one edge away from the hook and loop fastener base until the whole sheet is
free.
CAUTION: Do not use torn or severely worn or damaged sandpaper. To do so could damage the surface of the
sanding base.
WORKPIECE AND WORK AREA SET UP
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. Keep children, pets and other distractions from the work
place to prevent possible injury.
2. Run the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing
the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to al-
low free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects nearby that will present a hazard while working (such as utility lines).
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
