Sander Operation
WARNING: Let the tool work at its own pace. Do
not overload.
Grasp the sander and turn it ON. Move it in long, sweeping
strokes along the surface, letting it do the work. Pushing
down on the tool while sanding actually slows the removal
rate and produces an inferior quality finish.
Check your work often. This sander is capable of removing
material rapidly.
Detail Sanding
Your tool is equipped with a teardrop base which allows you
to use it on large flat surfaces and tight spots or corners.
The pad tips may wear unevenly, depending on use.
Hints for Optimum Use
•
Do not place your hands over the ventilation slots.
•
Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
•
Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet.
Replace when necessary.
•
Always sand with the grain of the wood.
•
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.
•
When sanding on a vertical surface, hold the back
handle

for better grip and control as shown in Fig. E.
