OPERATION Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the motor. If this occurs, turn the sander off and wait until the sanding sheet comes to a complete stop, then remove it from workpiece. Remove your hand from the vent area, remove the sanding sheet, then with your hand removed from vent area, turn the sander on and run it free without a load to cool the motor. For detail sanding such as corners and crevices, use the tip of the sanding pad with small back and forth motions. CHANGING SANDING SHEETS AND PADS See Figure 8, page 9. To change sheets and pads, simply pull the used sheet off the base and attach the desired sheet by pressing the sheet or pad onto the base of the sander. ROTATING THE SANDING SHEETS See Figure 9, page 9. The majority of wear in a precision sanding application occurs at the tip of the sanding sheet. The unique Tri-Flex design of the sanding sheets allows you to detach and rotate the top two thirds of each and extend the life of the sheet. To rotate the top of the sheet, simply remove the top two thirds along the perforation. Rotate the sheet so that a clean corner is located at the tip of the base. Press the sheet firmly onto the pad. NOTE: Scrubbing and polishing pads are not perforated and cannot be rotated. MAINTENANCE WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
