WARNING: Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recom mended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories
running over rated accessory speed may burst and cause injury.
Accessory ratings must be above listed minimum wheel speed as

USING SANDING BACKING PADS
Choose the proper grit sandpaper for your application. Sandpaper
is available in various grits. Coarse grits yield faster material removal
rates and a rougher finish. Finer grits yield slower material removal
and a smoother finish.
Begin with coarse grit discs for fast, rough material removal. Move
to a medium grit paper and finish with a fine grit disc for optimal
finish.
