Note:
If you trip a beaker or blow fuse, turn off the equipment off, then reset the breaker or
replace the fuse.
Note:
Remove all sawdust from the house as you empty the dust bags. Empty your sander bags
when they are ½ full, this will help with the dust pick up. Sawdust can be flammable and you do not
want it in your house.
Note:
When using the SL -7 edger, sand from right to left and let the edger do the work. A
properly aligned edger, with a disc pad in good condition will function well without the user exerting
additional pressure. Let the edger do the work; don’t put extra pressure on the machine. Work at
a pace you are comfortable with, and take frequent rests.
If the cutting action of you sander seems to slow or diminish, it is probably time to change the sandpaper. In an effort to
save money, don’t try to extend the life of the paper, replace it as needed. If you skimp on the amount of paper you use on
this project it will affect the end result. Don’t look at the co
st at the time of sanding, but rather over the life of the floor.
Replace abrasives to get the same type of cut across the floor.
After you sand the floor with the SL-8 & SL-7 it is time to scrape corners, door jambs, etc. Use our 12 wood handle scraper
with a 1” Red Devil blade, available from the rental store, to accomplish this task. Hand sand the areas you scraped.
If you have areas such as baseboard heat, radiators or toekicks that could not be reached by the SL-7, use the Silver-Line
U2 underradiator sander to clean up these areas. It uses 5” PSA discs and is also available at the rental store.
When your done sanding your floor return your sanders to the rental store. Remember to return the cords, wrenches, bags
and unused supplies.
Note:
After sanding you should screen the floor before you apply any finish or stain to achieve the
best possible finish. A professional floor sander will screen his work; spend the time and money to
screen your floor.
