To remove the sandpaper:
1. Set the tool upside down so that the sandpaper is on
top.
2. Grasping one corner of the sandpaper, peel it from
the pad.
Note:
If the sandpaper is in good condition, save it for further
use.
When sanding in narrow, hard-to-reach areas (e.g., shut-
ters, blinds, louvres), attach the cone-shaped abrasive
papers to the end of the pad (bottom and top). To sand
the end of thin materials, fold the abrasive paper and
attach to the side of the pad as shown in Fig. 4 and 5.
Dust bag (Fig. 7)
The use of the dust bag makes sanding operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit the
bag's entry port onto the dust spout on the tool so that
the hole in the entry port is just over the protrusion on the
dust spout.
For the best results, empty the dust bag when it becomes
about half full, tapping it lightly to remove as much dust
as possible.
Installing paper dust bag
To install the paper dust bag, place the paper dust bag on
the paper dust bag holder with its front side upward.
Insert the front fixing cardboard of the paper dust bag
into the groove of the paper dust bag holder. (Fig. 8)
Then press the upper part of the front fixing cardboard in
arrow direction to hook it onto the claws. (Fig. 9)
Insert the notch of the paper dust bag into the guide of
the paper dust bag holder. Then install the paper dust
bag holder set on the tool. (Fig. 10 & 11)
Switch action (Fig. 12)
CAUTION:
Always check to see that the tool is switched off before
plugging in the tool.
To start the tool, press the "ON (I )" side of the switch. To
stop, press the "OFF ( O )" side of the switch.
Operation (Fig. 13 & 14)
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and wait until it
attains full speed. Then gently place the tool on the work-
piece surface. A finishing sander is generally used to
remove only a small amount of material at a time. Since
the quality of the surface is more important than the
amount of stock removed do not bear down on the tool.
Keep the base flush with the workpiece at all times.
Excessive pressure may damage the paper and shorten
tool life.
You can put a high polish on furniture or other fine sur-
faces by using a cloth under the tool.
For BO4561 and BO4563
This tool is handy for sanding louvres, etc. When sanding
louvres, insert the protruding portion of the pad between
the louvres and sand them using the upper or lower side
of the abrasive paper.
CAUTION:
• Do not block motor vent with your finger or hand.
• Never run the tool without paper. You may seriously
damage the pad.
