Sanding (Fig. 2)
1.
Use a clamp, vise or other practical means to hold your work, free-
ing both hands to control your tool. Firmly grasp body of tool and
side handle before starting and while tool is in operation. Allow
sanding disc to come to full speed before beginning to sand.
2.
Hold Sander/Grinder at 5° to 15° angle as shown to ensure proper
sanding pressure and control. Too great an angle will result in too
much pressure and could cause excessive wear to the disc and
workpiece. Too small an angle will reduce control.
3.
Use long, sweeping, side to side strokes, advancing forward to
produce the desired finish.
