serious injury.

NOTE: To release the lock, depress and release the switch trigger.
SELECTING SANDING BELTS
Selecting the correct size and type of sanding belt is an important step in achieving a high-quality sanded
finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding.
In general, when sanding, coarse grit removes the most material and fine grit produces the best finish. The
condition of the surface to be sanded determines which grit will do the best job. If the surface is rough,
start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Then use medium grit to remove scratches
left by the coarser grit. Finally, use finer grit for finishing the surface. Always continue sanding with each
grit until the surface is uniform.
