INSTALLING SANDPAPER – cont’d
3. Wrap the sandpaper sheet (3) over the
backing pad (2) and insert it into the
open rear sandpaper clamp (5) (Fig. 4).
NOTE:
Make sure the sandpaper is
pulled tight over the backing pad for
proper sanding operation.
4. Lift the sandpaper clamp lever up
and inward to lock the sandpaper
into the clamp.
PUNCHING HOLES IN SANDPAPER
The sandpaper must have 8 holes punched
in it to allow the sanding dust to escape from
the working surface. The pattern of these
holes must match the hole pattern on the
sanding pad. If the sandpaper you are using
does not have the holes punched, use the
hole punch supplied with the tool to pierce
the sandpaper in the correct locations.
1.
Install the sandpaper as shown in Fig. 3 & 4.
2. Place the hole punch (1) on a sturdy flat
surface (Fig. 5).
3. Align the corner of the sanding pad (2)
with the corner of the hole punch (3).
This will ensure the holes are punched
in the correct location.
4. When the sanding pad is correctly
aligned on the hole punch, press the
sanding pad firmly onto the hole punch.
NOTE:
The sharp pegs (4) in the hole
punch will pierce the sandpaper in the
correct location.
INSTALLING SANDPAPER
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 the
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.
