SANDING OPERATION (FIG. 8)
Move the sander in long, sweeping strokes
across the sanding surface. Light pressure is
all that is needed for sanding, polishing, and
scrubbing. Let the sander do the work.
Check your work often. This sander removes
material quickly.
WARNING
produce unsatisfactory results.
SANDING TIPS
Do not force the sander. The weight of the sander
supplies adequate pressure. Let the sander and
the sandpaper do the work. Applying additional
pressure will instead slow the motor and wear the
sandpaper out faster and reduce sander speed.
Excessive pressure will overload the motor and
cause possible damage to the sander from the
motor overheating. Excessive pressure will also
result in inferior work. Any existing finish or resin
on wood may soften from the heat of the friction.
Do not sand in one spot for too long a time
because the sander's rapid action may remove
too much material and make the surface uneven.
For best results, use high quality sanding
discs. The following are recommended
sanding discs for certain applications:
1. Coarse (60, 80 grit): for rough wood sanding.
2. Medium (100, 120 grit): for general wood
sanding.
3. Fine (150, 180, 220 grit): for smoothing wood
or plaster patches.
4. Extra Fine (400 grit and higher): for final
sanding bare wood and smoothing old paint.
If the surface is rough, begin with coarser grits
and then complete the surfacing with medium
and fine sanding discs. Because the random
orbit action is so effective, it is often possible to
begin sanding with a medium grit sanding disc
and go directly to fine finishing. To avoid uneven
results, do not skip more than one grit size
when going from coarser to finer grits.
