After installing new sanding paper
Movement of the sander may tend to become unsteady
after new sanding paper has been installed, because of
the new, coarse grain of the paper. This can be avoided
by slightly tilting the sander forward or backward during
sanding or polishing. Sander movement will become
steady as the sanding paper surface becomes properly
abraded.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Empting and cleaning the Dust Bag
If the dust bag contains too much saw dust, dust
collection will be aff ected. Empty the dust bag when it
gets full.
Remove the dust bag, open the fastener, and dispose of
the contents.
2. Inspecting the sanding paper
Since use of worn-out sanding paper will degrade
effi ciency and cause possible damage to the pad,
replace the sanding paper as soon a excessive abrasion
is noted.
3. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
result in serious hazard.
4. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

Since the attachment is a hook-and-loop type, the
sanding paper can be installed easily by just pressing it
onto the pad. When installing the sanding paper, in order
to match it to the holes in the pad, gently fold it along the
axis of two holes as shown in Fig. 1.
Next, use the holes along the fold as a guide to match
the sanding paper and the pad. Finally, press the entire
sanding paper uniformly onto the pad.
