Operation
Note:
Blades or scrapers that are cranked or bent must be mounted on
the tool so that the end of the blade sits facing away from the machine
Fitting a Sanding Pad and Sanding Sheet
1. Fit the hook and loop sanding pad by following the instructions under
‘Fitting a blade or scraper’.
2. Select the required sanding sheet for your intended task (see
‘Selecting the right grade of sanding sheet’).
3. The sanding pad and sanding sheets use a hook and loop system
for attachment. Carefully line up one corner of the sheet with a
corner of the sanding pad and gradually push the rest of the sheet
on to the pad, checking the alignment until the sheet is fitted correct-
ly.
Selecting the right Grade of Sanding Sheet
Sanding sheets are available in a variety of different grades: coarse
(60 grit), medium (120 grit) and fine (240 grit).
Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to
smooth the work, and fine grit to finish off.
Always use good quality sanding sheets to maximise the quality of
the finished task.
It is advisable to do a trial run on a scrap piece of material to
determine the optimum grades of sandpaper for a particular job. If
there are still marks on your work after sanding, try either going back
to a coarser grade and sanding the marks out before recommencing
with the original choice of grit, or try using a new piece of sandpaper
to eliminate the unwanted marks before going on to a finer grit and
finishing the job.
