The
weight of the sander usually provides
adequate pressure. Let the sander and
sandpaper do the work. Applying added
pressure will slow the motor, increase the
wear on the sandpaper and greatly reduce
sander speed. Excessive pressure will
overload the motor causing possible
damage from the motor overheating. It will
also create an inferior finish on sanded
work. Any finish or resin on wood will
soften from the frictional heat, causing
sandpaper to become clogged quickly. Do
not sand in one spot too long as the
sander’s rapid action may remove too
much material, making the surface
uneven.
Extended periods of sanding may tend to
overheat the motor. If this occurs, turn
sander OFF, wait until the sanding pad
comes to a complete stop and remove it
from the workpiece. Check to make sure
your hands have not been covering the
cooling vents. Let the motor cool before
continuing sanding operation.
