OPERATION
(Continued)
When
rough
boards
or
wide
and
uneven
pieces
have
to
be
sanded,
don't
use extra
pressure
as this
will
slow the
sanding
action.
Use
a
coarse
grit
belt
and
hold
the
sander
at
an
angle
to
the
grain
of
the
wood.
The
movement
of
the
sander
remains
parallel
with
the
grain
as
before,
but
the
abrasive
makes a fast,
coarse
cut
across or
at
an
angle
to the
wood
grain.
This will
leave
a
rough
surface
and
must
be finished
with
a
belt
of
finer
grit
with
the
sander
held and
fed parallel
to
the
grain
as
described
earlier.
SANDING
HINTS
TO
REMOVE
OLD
PAINT
OR
VARNISH
Use an
open
coat
belt
to prevent
clogging.
Make
short
backward
strokes,
lifting
quickly
at the
end
of
each
stroke
to prevent
burning
the finish.
Start
each
new
stroke
in
a new
area.
DOORS
AND
TRIM
When
sanding
doors,
trim and
other
millwork,
be careful
not
to sand
cross
grain
at
the
joints
where
the
direction of
the
grain
changes.
SANDING
VERY
SMALL
AREAS
Make
a
small
felt
pad
about
1/8"
thick
in
a size
proportional
to the
area
to be
sanded.
Insert
the
pad
under
the
base
plate
pad to
reduce
the
sanding
area.
Use for
sanding
glue
joints,
smoothing
plaster
patches
or
feathering
taped
joints
on
Sheetrock
walls.
METALS,
PLASTICS
AND
STONE
Use a
sweeping
rotary
movement
as grain
is no
problem
with
these
materials.
Overlap
every
stroke
to
produce
an
even
surface.
Never
use
oil or
other
coolants
as the
belt
will throw
the
liquid.
