SANDING TIPS
1. Starting and stopping the sanding – Contact the workpiece with the tool only after it has reached full speed
and remove it from the work before turning the switch “OFF”. Operating in this manner will prolong switch
and motor life and will greatly increase the quality of your work.
2. Excessive pressure to the sander may result in an uneven sanding job and premature grit wear. Constant
and excessive pressure can cause overheating and possible damage to the motor, as well as premature
wear out of the pad.
a. Light pressure: recommended for fine work.
b. Moderate pressure: recommended for rough work.
c. Heavy pressure: does not allow the sand paper to rotate properly.
3. If the surface is rough, start sanding with a coarse grit, then medium grit, and then finish with a fine or
extra-fine grit. This procedure will vary with different types of materials and work.
4. Continue to sand with each grit until the surface looks uniform.
5. When going from one grit size to a finer size, do not skip more than two grit sizes.
6. To remove the greatest amount of stock, use a coarse grit and move the sander steadily over the entire
surface against the grain as well as with the grain. DO NOT REMAIN IN ONE SPOT TOO LONG. It may
remove too much material and uneven sanding will result.
7. Sanding with the grain of the wood gives the smoothest final finish.
MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, make sure that the sander has been disconnected from the
power supply. Keep all ventilation openings clean. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil and grease.
