USE
1. Fitting the backing pad
Warning: Always disconnect from the power supply before removing or
attaching the backing pad.
Note: This sander is supplied with its regular Hook and loop backing pad (I)
factory pre-installed. It may, however, become necessary to remove and
replace the backing pad, in order to fit replacements, perform maintenance
or to thoroughly clean the device.
1. Switch the device into fixed orbit mode (see "Selecting sanding mode").
2. Remove the Sanding disc (K) (if fitted), by peeling it off from the Hook
and loop backing pad (I)
3. Use a suitable hex key to loosen the bolt in the center of the Hook and
loop backing pad (I), by turning it anticlockwise.
4. Remove the bolt and washer.
5. Pull the Hook and loop backing pad (I) off the gear housing
6. Assemble in reverse order.
TIPS: The Hook and loop backing pad (I) is a form fit to the two flattened
sides of the internal mounting spindle.
2. Selecting the right grade of sanding disc
● Sanding discs are available in a variety of different grades: coarse(60
grit), medium (120 grit)and fine (240 grit).
● Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the
work, and fine grit to finish off
● Always use good quality sanding discs to maximize the quality of the
finished task.
● It is advisable to do a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine
the optimum grade of sanding disc for a particular job. If there are still
marks on your work after sanding,try either going back to a coarser grade
and sanding the marks out before recommencing with the original choice of
grit, or try using a new sanding disc to eliminate the unwanted marks
before going on to a finer grit and finishing the job.
