SELECTING
THE RIGHT
SANDING
BELT
Different sanding
belt grits may be purchased
from the store where you
purchased
the tool.
Available
grits are: Coarse, Medium
and Fine.
Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes,
medium
grit to smooth the work
and fine grit to finish off.
It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine
the best
grits for a particular job.
SANDING
This sander can be used for sanding operations
on materials
such as wood,
plastic, metal and painted surfaces.
Do not use the sander for wet sanding.
_,
WARNING:
Finish sanding can produce
clouds of fine sanding dust that
could ignite in the presence of sparks or an open flame. To avoid injury, always
use your sander in a well-ventilated
area, away from sparks and flames.
_,
WARNING:
Before sanding,
make sure that the sanding
belt is securely
installed
in place.
1.
Secure the workpiece
with clamps or other means to keep it from moving
while sanding.
2.
Do not force the tool. Excessive
pressure will overload the motor, causing
possible
damage from motor overheating,
and can result in inferior work.
3.
Do not allow sanding on one spot too long, as the sander's
rapid action may
remove too much material and make the surface uneven.
