PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

SELECTING ABRASIVE PAPER

Coarse-grained abrasive paper is generally suitable for coarse processing of most materials, while ﬁne-

grained abrasive paper is applied for ﬁnishing works.

Ɣ When the surface is not ﬂat or even, start the work with coarse-grained abrasive paper and continue

until the surface is ﬂat.

Ɣ Next use middle-grained abrasive paper to remove traces of coarse processing.

Ɣ To ﬁnish the work use ﬁne-grained abrasive paper.

INSTALLATION OF ABRASIVE PAPER

The sander features backing pad with hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro), which allows for easy and rapid

replacement of abrasive paper.

Ɣ Hold abrasive paper close to backing pad (4), making sure that holes on the abrasive paper “a” match

holes on the backing pad then press to ensure eﬀective discharge of dust (Fig. A).

Ɣ To remove the abrasive paper, deﬂect it on one side and then pull it.

Use perforated abrasive paper, so the dust can reach extraction holes in the backing pad to dust

discharge installation. Each time prior to replacing used abrasive paper with a new one make sure

to remove dust and any contamination from the sander backing pad, using a tool such as brush of

paintbrush.

In addition the sander features clamps for attaching abrasive paper to triangular or rectangular backing

pad square when using abrasive paper without hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro).

Ɣ Select proper grit size of the abrasive paper for the planned work.

Ɣ In order to soften the paper, rub its smooth side against an edge, for instance of a tabletop edge.

Ɣ Loosen abrasive paper clamps (5) (g. B).

Ɣ Fix abrasive paper on the sander backing pad (4).

Ɣ Make sure that the holes on abrasive paper and sander backing pad (4) fully match.

Ɣ Bend both ends of abrasive paper on the edges of sander backing pad.

Ɣ Tighten the abrasive paper clamping levers (5).

Ɣ Make sure that abrasive paper is installed properly.

Abrasive paper must rmly adhere to the sander backing pad. No slack is allowed. If abrasive paper

stretches during sanding, remove the slack, which will signicantly prolong the lifetime of the

abrasive paper.
