sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
• Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet. Replace when necessary.
• Always sand with the grain of the wood.
• When sanding new layers of paint before applying another layer, use extra fine grit.
• On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of paint, start with a coarse grit. On other
surfaces, start with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine grit for a smooth finish.
