4. To remove the sanding paper, peel it away from the base.
5. Ordinary (non Hook & Loop type) sanding paper can also be used.
6. Release the sandpaper clamp from both sides of the sander.
7. Insert the end of the sandpaper under one clamp and pull the paper tight over
the base ensuring the holes align with those in the base and then clamp the
other side.
8. The sanding paper should be kept tightly clamped over the base, otherwise
there could be excessive wear of the base material.
Do not continue to use the sander with a sanding paper that is over
!
worn or damaged.
WARNING
Do not use the same sanding paper for wood and metal. Metal particles
!
become embedded in the sanding paper and will scour a wooden sur-
face.
WARNING
Take care to regularly clean out the buildup of dust on the base under-
!
neath the sanding paper and not to let the sanding paper wear com-
pletely down before replacing it. Failure to observe these two precau-
tionary measures can lead to damage to the hooks and loops on the
base and the sanding paper will not attach properly.
WARNING
NOTE: Hook and loop sanding base is not a warranty item.

•
With the speed controller, the rate of
oscillation can be selected (also
during operation). Rotate the speed
controller to choose the suitable
speed.
•
The optimum speed depends on the
material and should be determined by
carrying out a practical test.

Stage 1: slow
Stage 6: quick
