SANDING
WARNING: Fire hazard. When working on metal surfaces, do not use a vacuum
cleaner because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Due to the danger
of fire, do not use your sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
NOTE: Do not rest fingers on platen during use. Move it in long sweeping strokes across the
surface, letting it do the work. Light pressure is all that is required for sanding. Excessive pressure
will slow the tool and produce inferior results. Check your work often, product is capable of
removing material rapidly. Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and cause motor
overload. Replacing the sanding sheet regularly will maintain optimum working efficiency.
NOTE: Always ensure the work piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Any
movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding finish.
