SANDPAPER SELECTION
Make sure you select the correct size and
style of sandpaper for your detail sander.
The correct sandpaper will:
Be the same size, shape and have
holes that match the hook pad
Have a loop backing.
Selecting the correct grit and type of
sandpaper is extremely important 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 economical
use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove most
material and finer grit will produce the best
finish in all sanding operations. The
condition of the surface to be sanded will
determine which grit will do the best 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. Fine grit
should be used for finishing the surface.
Always continue sanding with each grit
until the surface is uniform.
SANDING
Clamp or otherwise secure your workpiece
to prevent it from moving under the detail
sander while being sanded.
WARNING:
An unsecured workpiece
could be thrown toward the operator
causing injury.
