dial (2).

Sanding
Start with the coarsest grit size.
As the tool produces small abrasion marks in all directions,
it is not necessary to sand along the grain.
Check your work at short intervals.
Always switch off the tool when work is finished and before
unplugging.
Hints for optimum use
♦ Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
♦ Regularly check the condition of the sanding paper.
♦ Replace sanding paper when necessary.
♦ When sanding new layers of paint before applying
another layer, use extra fine grit.
♦ On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of
paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start
with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to
a fine grit for a smooth finish.
♦ Consult your retailer for more information on available
accessories.
