Changing Delta (RO90) Sanding Pads
The RO90 sander can also use an optional detail sanding
pad. The Delta (DX) sanding pad is triangular shaped for
reaching into tight corners and along edges. The pad oper-
ates only in orbital mode, and does not rotate.
NOTICE: The RO90’s mode selection dial has an
interlock to prevent the sander from being oper-
ated in either of the rotary modes when the DX pad
is installed. Forcing the dial to turn with a DX pad
installed will damage the sander.
The standard DX sanding pad is actually a sanding pad
holder with removable sanding pads. The sanding pads
can be either a hard sanding pad or a soft sanding pad. An
extended sanding pad is also available, but does not use
the separate sanding pads. The extended sanding pad has
a longer tip for reaching into narrow spaces. Both types of
Delta pads use the same sandpaper.

Installing the Pad on the Holder
The sanding pad is secured to the holder with hook & loop
around the perimeter and with a snap in the center. To
install the pad, center it over the snap, align the dust ports
with the holes in the pad, and then firmly press it into place.

Installing the Pad (Holder) on the Sander
1. Unplug the sander for safety.
2. Turn the mode selector dial to the DX mode.
►
This lowers the interlock pin and locks the spindle in the
only position the DX pad can be installed.
►
If the interlock pin is extended, the dial is not in DX
mode and the pad cannot be installed.
►
If the spindle is not locked, rotate it until it does lock.
3. Place the DX pad on the spindle at 45° counterclockwise
from its normal position so it engages the retaining tabs.
(The pad and sander bodies have alignment arrows for
this position, as shown in the image below.)
4. Rotate the DX pad clockwise until it clicks into place and
is aligned with the main body of the sander.
5. To remove the DX pad, press forward on the release but-
ton (shown in the lower left image), and rotate the pad
45° counterclockwise.
