The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Changing the sanding sheet (see figure C)
Remove dirt and dust from the sanding plate , e.g. with a
brush, before attaching a new sanding sheet.

punched holes in the sanding sheet are aligned with the
drilled holes in the sanding plate.
The sanding plate is fitted with a hook-and-loop fastening, al-
lowing sanding sheets with a similar backing to be secured
quickly and easily.
