Changing the Sanding Sheet (see figure A)
To remove the sanding sheet (6), lift it from the side and pull
it from the sanding pad (5).
Remove dirt and dust from the sanding pad (5), e.g. with a
paintbrush, before attaching a new sanding sheet.
The surface of the sanding pad (5) is fitted with a hook-and-
loop fastening, allowing sanding sheets with a hook-and-loop
backing to be secured quickly and easily.
Press the sanding sheet (6) firmly onto the underside of the
sanding pad (5).
To ensure optimum dust extraction, make sure that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet (6) are aligned with the
drilled holes in the sanding pad (5).
The alignment aid that is in the tool box and shown in the fig-
ure enables easy alignment of the sanding sheet (6) on the
sanding pad (5). Place the sanding sheet into the alignment
aid with the hook-and-loop fastening facing upwards and
press the power tool with the sanding pad firmly onto it.

Dust/Chip Extraction

The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
