WORK-PIECE INSPECTION
CT180 is designed to sand wood only. Do
not use this machine to sand metals, glass
or stone etc.
Before sanding, make sure to inspect the
work-piece for nails, staples, small pieces
of stone or metal and any other foreign
objects.
Sanding the work-piece with this kind of
objects can tear the sanding paper. For a
safe sanding always inspect your work-
piece carefully before cutting and wear eye
protection.
Some woods with excessive finish or glue
load up the sand paper and reduce its
usefulness. Use an abrasive cleaner to
clean the sanding paper.

TABLE TILT
The work table can be tilted from 0° to 45°
