WARNING:
Do not sand metal with this sander. Sanding metal will cause sparks that
may ignite wood and dust particles on the sander or in the workshop.
The spindle rotates in a counterclockwise (1) direction.

Turn the sander ON, and let the motor reach full speed.

Feed the workpiece gradually against the sanding sleeve.
