2. To remove the sandpaper (1), simply peel
the sandpaper away from the hook & loop
pad (2) (Fig. 5).
INSTALLING DETAIL SANDING ACCESSORY
The detail sanding accessory should be
attached to the main sanding pad for sanding in
small areas.
1. Remove sandpaper from the main sanding
pad (1) (Fig. 6).
2. Place the detail sanding accessory (2) onto
the main sanding pad mounting hole (3).
3. Fasten the detail sanding accessory to the
main sanding pad using the screw (4)
provided.
4. Tighten the mounting screw using a #2
screwdriver.
5. Install the appropriate sandpaper (5) to the
detail sanding accessory.
NOTE: See Fig. 4 & 5 for installing and
removing the hook & loop sandpaper.
SANDPAPER SELECTION
Make sure you select the correct size and style
of sandpaper for your sander. The correct
sandpaper will:
 Fit onto the sanding pad with no overhang
or exposed sanding pad
 Have 3/8" holes that match the hole pattern
in the sander base
 Have a backing for use with the hook &
loop disc attachment system.
Selecting the correct grit and type of sandpaper
is extremely important in achieving a high
quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon
carbide and other synthetic abrasives are best
for power sanding. Natural abrasives such as
flint and garnet are too soft for economical
use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most
material and finer grit will produce the best finish
in all sanding operations. The condition of the
surface to be sanded will determine which grit
will do the best job.
NOTE: Where the sandpaper grits are shown
numerically, higher numbers indicate finer grit
and lower numbers indicate coarser grit.
If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit
and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium
grit may then be used to remove scratches left
by the coarser grit. Fine grit should be used for
finishing the surface. Always continue sanding
with each grit until the surface is uniform.
