Selecting Sandpaper and Grits
Sandpaper can be made from various grit materials
and these should be selected according the material
to be sanded. The guidelines below list materials and
grit materials that should be used with them.
• Fine woodwork – garnet or aluminum oxide
• Rough woodwork – aluminum zirconia or ceramic
aluminum oxide
• Manufactured wood products (particleboard,
medium density fiber board, etc.) – silicon carbide
or aluminum oxide
• Solid surface materials (Corian
etc.) – silicon carbide or aluminum oxide
• Metals – emery or aluminum oxide
Sandpaper is also graded by coarseness. Start your
work with an abrasive grit just coarse enough to re-
move high spots and excessive roughness. Follow
with a second sanding using a grit one or two grades
finer. Continue with successively finer grits until you
obtain the desired finish.
Do not switch from a coarse grit to a very fine grit in
one step because it may be difficult to remove the
marks made by the coarse grit abrasive. Use the
finest grits practical for the roughing operation, and
finish by using successively finer grits.

Paper Punch
A paper punch template has been supplied with the

sandering pad.
1. Install sandpaper on the sander.

3. Push down on sander.
Collected sanding dust from sand-
WARNING
ing surface coatings such as
polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc. can self-ignite in
the sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire.
To reduce the risk of fire always empty the dust
bag frequently (10-15 minutes) while sanding and
never store or leave a sander without totally
emptying its dust bag. Also follow the recom-
mendations of the coatings manufacturers.
Do not use the dust bag when sanding metal.
This causes a fire hazard and can result in seri-
ous injury.
Using the Dust Bag
The dust bag provides a dust collection for the
sander. To use the dust bag:
1. Remove battery pack.
2. To attach, press to open the latch while sliding
the dust bag onto the dust port until it latches on.
