Selecting the Sanding Sheet
Depending on the material to be worked and the required rate
of material removal, different sanding sheets are available:
For the working of all wooden
materials
For coarse-sanding, e. g. of
rough, unplaned beams and
boards
For face sanding and planing
small irregularities
For finish and fine sanding of hard
woods
For the working of paint/enam-
el coats or primers and fillers
For sanding off paint
For sanding primer
For final sanding of primers
before coating
Note: To avoid tearing of the sanding sheet, use only sanding
sheets with a grain size of 80 or less.

The sanding plate 10 can be replaced, if required.
Unscrew the 6 screws 16 completely and remove the sanding

Specialty Sanding Plates
You can replace the supplied sanding plate 10 with a specialty
sanding plate, which is available as an accessory.
The specialty sanding plate is attached in the same manner as
the one supplied.
Attach and remove the respective sanding sheets in the same
manner as when changing original sanding sheets.
Extended Sanding Plate, Rectangular, Thin (see figure G)
Use of the rectangular, thin, extended sanding plate 17 ena-
bles sanding at hard-to-reach locations and narrow interspac-
es, e. g. on window and door sills, grooves or behind radiators
or water pipes.
To mount the rectangular, thin, extended sanding plate 17,
use the corresponding screws 19.
Extended Sanding Plate, Triangular (see figure H)
Use of the extended triangular sanding plate 21 enables sand-
ing in edges and corners.
Finish-sanding Plate (without velcro backing)
(see figures A and B)
When operating mainly with standard sanding sheets without
velcro backing, it is recommended to use the finish-sanding
plate without velcro backing. Due to its plane sanding plate
surface, optimum results are achieved, especially for finish
sanding.
