To attach an abrasive sheet to the SKIL 7292 Orbital Sander, follow these steps:
1. Open the clamping wire by lifting the clamping lever out of its pocket and then lowering it so that it is positioned as shown in Figure 2 of the owner's manual.
2. Place the abrasive sheet (grit side up) between the clamping wire and the base plate, aligning the edges of the abrasive sheet with either edge of the pad. Pre-bending the sheet can make attachment easier.
3. After inserting the sheet, raise the clamping lever and return it to its original position, making sure the clamping wire is secure.
4. Wrap the sheet around the length of the pad and attach the free end of the sheet under the opposite clamp. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 above. Make sure the abrasive sheet is drawn as tight as possible for efficient sanding, as a loose sheet can slip on the work surface.
Note: It is recommended to use aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, or other synthetic abrasives for power sanding. Natural abrasives such as flint or garnet sheets are too soft for efficient use with power sanders.
For more detailed instructions and safety precautions, please refer to the SKIL 7292 Orbital Sander Owner's Manual.
