With the workpiece firmly secured, turn the tool
on as described above. Contact the work with
the tool only after the sander has reached its
full speed and then remove it from the work
before switching the tool off. Operating your
sander in this manner will prolong switch and
motor life and greatly increase the quality of
your work.
Move the sander in long, steady strokes
parallel to the grain, using some lateral motion
to overlap the strokes by as much as 75%. DO
NOT apply excessive pressure — let the tool
do the work. Excessive pressure will result in
poor handling, vibration, and unwanted sanding
marks (Fig. 5).
If the surface is rough, begin with coarser grits
and then complete the surfacing with medium and fine abrasives. To avoid uneven results, do
not skip more than one grit size when going from coarser to finer, and do not sand in one area
for too long. When the job is completed, gently lift the tool from the work surface and slide
switch to the "Off" position.
Application Advice
Use the tool for sanding large work surfaces, corners and edges (Fig. 6).
