Machine Setup (cont)
WARNING: Injury could occur to the operator or by-
standers if the machine should tip or fall
while replacing the pad or changing the
abrasive.
WARNING: Never allow the machine to be started while
tilted up. Severe injury could result if the
machine is started while the abrasive is
being changed.
CAUTION: Damage to the sanding head will occur if
the unit is allowed to drop freely from the
tilted position.
CAUTION: Damage to the pad driver will occur if the
machine is operated without sandpaper or
screen and pad. Damage to the pad driver
can also occur if the pad is less than 1/8"
thick.
10. Install or replace sandpaper or screen and pad. The
sandpaper, screen, and pad should be replaced if there are
any tears or if they have become worn and dull. The pad
should also be replaced if its thickness is less than 1/8".
To install or replace the sandpaper, screen, or pad: (See
Figure 12)
DANGER: Disconnect the power source. Electrocution
could occur if the machine is connected to
the power source while changing the abra-
sives, pads or empting the dust bag.
