APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
[] Sanding on wood surfaces
[] Removing rust from and sanding metal surfaces
SELECTING SANDPAPER
Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is
an extremely important step in achieving a high quality
sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other
synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural
abrasives, such as flint and garnet, are too soft for eco-
nomical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and
finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding opera-
tions. The condition of the surface to be sanded will deter-
mine which grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, start
with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform.
Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by
the coarser grit and finer grit used for finishing of the sur-
face. Always continue sanding with each grit until surface
is uniform.
NOTE: To prevent damaging the cushion, DO NOT use
sander without sandpaper installed.
INSTALLING SANDPAPER
The cushion on the sander gives you the option of using
either non-adhesive sandpaper that clamps to the cushion
or adhesive backed sandpaper with pressure sensitive
adhesive backing that sticks to the cushion.
INSTALLING NON=ADHESIVE SANDPAPER
See Figure 2.
[] Unplug the sander.
[] Inspect sandpaper before installing. Do not use if bro-
ken or defective.
[] If replacing adhesive sandpaper, remove old sandpaper
by peeling it off cushion. If replacing regular sandpaper,
release paper clamp by lifting up on paper clamp lever
and disengaging it from the tab on the cushion.
[] Insert end of new 1/4 sheet sandpaper approximately
1/2 inch under the paper clamp.
[] Lift up on paper clamp lever and lock into place. Apply
downward pressure to conform sandpaper to cushion.
