Installing or removing abrasive disc
CAUTION:
Always use hook-and-loop system
abrasive discs. Never use pressure-sensitive
abrasive discs.
► Fig.9: 1. Abrasive disc
To install the abrasive disc or the hook-and-loop type
pad (optional accessory), first remove all dirt and for-
eign matter from the pad.
Then attach the abrasive disc to the pad, using the
hook-and-loop system of the abrasive disc and the pad.
Be careful to align the holes in the abrasive disc with
those in the pad.
To remove the disc from the pad, just pull up from its
edge.
Changing pad
CAUTION:
Make sure the new pad is installed
securely. Otherwise the pad may come off from the
tool and cause personal injury.
