OPERATION
SANDPAPER SELECTION
Choosing the right grit and material of sandpaper maximizes the quality of your sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, sili-
con carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding as natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet,
are too soft for economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit (lower numbers) will remove the most material and finer grit (higher numbers) will produce
the best finish in all sanding operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine the right grit for
the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then
be used to remove the scratches left by the coarser grit while a finer grit can be used for finishing. Always continue
sanding with each grit until the surface is uniform.
NOTE: DO NOT use the sander without sandpaper. Doing so will damage the hook and loop fastener sanding base.
