The sanding process
The Bona Power Drive system is designed to be used in a variety of different sanding situations. However, it is not designed to replace a
traditional belt sanding machine and where a floor is uneven due to cupping or similar issues it is recommended that an initial sanding
using a belt sander with a 36/40 grit belt is made. For other sanding operations, please use the suggested methods in the following chart.
Disclaimer: Depending on the specie or flooring type being sanded (strip vs. parquet or multi-specie), extra steps or variations of the steps listed
above may be required. You may also want to use the ¼” Intermediate Pads on all sanding steps to minimize scratch depth and bouncing or
hopping of the Bona Power Drive. Contact your local Bona Territory Manager or Technical Services with questions.
