SANDING
Clamp or otherwise secure your workpiece
to prevent it from moving under the sander
while being sanded.
WARNING: An unsecured workpiece
could be thrown toward the operator
causing injury.
Place the sander on the workpiece so that
the complete sandpaper surface is in contact
with the workpiece. Turn the sander ON by
pressing on the side of the ON/OFF switch.
Move the sander slowly over workpiece
making successive passes in parallel lines,
circles or crosswise movements. Because
the orbital motion of the sanding pad moves
in tiny circles, it is not necessary to move
the sander with the grain or in the same
direction for successive passes (Fig. 7).
