SANDING DISC SELECTION
Selecting the correct size grit and type sanding disc is an
extremely important step in achieving a high-quality sanded
fi nish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide and other synthetic
abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives,
such as fl int and garnet are too soft for eco nom i cal use in
power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and fi ner
grit will produce the best fi nish in all sanding op er a tions. The
condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which
grit will do the 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 scratch es left by the coarser grit and
fi ner grit used for fi nishing of the surface. Always continue
sanding with each grit until surface is uniform.
ATTACHING HOOK-AND-LOOP SANDING
DISC
See Figure 5.
To attach hook-and-loop sanding disc:

J
Align the holes in the sanding disc with the holes in the
hook-and-loop backing pad.

NOTE: To provide for the best adhesion, we recommend
