N Press the paper clamp levers (6) upwards to release them from the retaining grooves and open the paper clamps by pressing them down. N Place the sheet onto the sanding base. N Insert the edge of the sanding sheet into the front paper clamp as shown. N Press the front paper clamp lever (6) downwards and locate it in the retaining groove.
