SE440 Mini Straight Sander
OPERATION
Start the sander off the work, set it down on the work evenly and move it
slowly back and forth in wide, overlapping areas. Additional pressure may
be used to make more efficient use of the tool when material to be cut
is thick. Lighter pressure may be used in delicate sanding or when using
edges of sanding pad. When finished sanding, lift it off the work before
stopping the motor.
