size surfaces.
Select low to medium speed.
Excessive pressure can gouge or damage the background surfaces (e.g.,
wood, plaster).
SANDING
Sanding accessories
are suitable for the dry sanding of wood, metal,
surfaces, corners and edges and hard to reach areas. Work with the
complete surface of the sanding pad, not only with the tip.
Sand with a continuous motion and light pressure. DO NOT apply excessive
pressure. Excessive pressure will result in poor handling, vibration, and
unwanted sanding marks and premature wear on the sanding sheet.
The following suggestions may be used as a general guide for abrasive
selection, but the best results will be obtained by sanding a test sample of
the workpiece first.
Grit
Application
Coarse For rough wood or metal sanding, and rust or old finish
removal.
Medium For general wood or metal sanding
Fine For final finishing of wood, metal, plaster and other
surfaces.
