Attaching the abrasive

Stickfi x is a hook-and-loop fastening sys-
tem. Stickfi x sanding pads allow the use
of self-adhesive hook-and-loop abrasives
such as Stickfi x sandpapers and sanding
cloths.
Simply press the abrasive onto the sanding pad and
pull it off again after use.
Use only abrasives with an undamaged
Stickfi x hook-and-loop coating. Before use, check
that the coating has not been damaged by improper
use (such as over heating).
In the case of a weakening adhesive
effect of the StickFix surface, the sanding pad ac-
cessories, in particular those which are not yet
touching the workpiece, may come loose from
the sanding pad and cause injuries. Replace the
sanding pad!
The Mini-Stickfi x D 52 sanding pad was
developed for use in confi ned spaces and with small
areas. This small-diameter pad and the affi xed
abrasive will inevitably heat up in use more than
larger pads, since the same pressure is distributed
over a smaller area. Sand only with moderate pres-
sure and do not sand continuously for too long. Lift
the sander off the workpiece at intervals to allow
friction heat to dissipate.

achieved when applying moderate pressure. Sand-
