How do I change the base plate? Following the directions in the manual get me nowhere!

From what I can remember the plates simply snapped on & off from the upper vibrating plate. I gave it to a neighbor when I moved after Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

The manual tells you how. But the base pressure is removed, you must implement some strength

It twists. You can see on the baseplate where sections join. Twist away from the joint.

There is a release switch on the base, however, I had 2 different sanders sent to me and neither one would properly release. I sent them back and bought a Makita that I'm happy with.

Nestor, Mine broke at the same location. I used a scrapper with a razor blade, just inserted it under the existing base (gently) then pried the base off, leaving the black backing. Then put new one on. Seems to work pretty well.

It'l is supposed to screw in to the base. If it does not, yours is defective. I would exchange it.

There is a plate covering the screws. You pull off the plate, screw it in and replace the cover plate. Quite simple.

Remove the existing cover plate. Yhe new outlet has a mounting screw that goes into the same hole that the screw from the original plate went into.

remove the base by unscrewing the thing where the wires come out of. that will seperate the two parts and then you attach the Arms. this thing has horrible instructions.

I would avoid this altogether. When mine showed up in the mail, I pulled the release lever and the plate came out, but so did the spring and other parts. It was unusable from the second I got it.

No that will not help because the screws are threaded into the base not the plate. You could try loctite(threadlocker) on the screws or get longer screws and put a nut on from underneath. It looks likes there is room.

The base is attached with screws. Yes, if you removed the screws, you are left with a 90 degree plate that is welded to the pole. That is what I did with my current setup. Good luck .

I had no idea you were supposed to move the coverplate until I saw these answers! I just plugged it in over the outlets and put the screw aside bc I didn't know what it was for... (heh) It works perfectly fine but I'll fix mine now. Thanks for asking this question & thank you everyone for your answers!

Mike - As Lawrence suggested, connect the bracket to the base first, then attach to the wall plate. Wish we were there to assist, and alas, we cannot put Spock in the transponder. Good luck!

You can change them yourself. There are even videos on YouTube that show the process. Its very easy! I would waste time and money taking it to a service center for that. Hope that helps.

In the years I've had this I"ve never done that. Since you asked the question and I'm sort-of-fixit person, I looked it over. It should be easy to do. there are three small phillips screws that need to be removed from each plate. The plates should just drop out once removed.

Call the seller. They should be able to get the instructions. Check the Internet. The manual may be on line.
