Handling (Cont.)
It is important to make sure that the sanding is carried out in a methodical fashion to ensure that all areas
of the floor surface are sanded equally. Although the FlexiSand Power Drive
™
can be used in any direction
on the floor, making it ideal for patterned floor, for the best results on a strip or plank floor walk forwards and
backwards with the grain of the wood in a slow, steady manner.

The sanding process
The FlexiSand Power Drive
™
system is not used like a 'normal' buffing machine with the handles held at the waist and the machine
moving from side to side when sanding. The counter-rotating cog construction of the Bona
®
FlexiSand Power Drive
™
equalizes the sanding
force so that the machine stands more or less still during operation and is controlled by simply walking backwards and forwards in the
same way as a belt sander is used.
The Bona
®
FlexiSand Power Drive
™
system is designed to be used in a variety of different sanding situations. However, it is not designed
to replace a traditional belt sanding machine and where a floor is uneven due to cupping or similar issues it is recommended that an
initial sanding using a belt sander with a 36/40 grit belt is made. For other sanding operations, the following methods are suggested:
To remove finish from a coated floor:
1)
Start sanding with Bona GREEN Ceramic abrasives, grit
36 – 60 depending on how aggressive you need to be to
remove old finish and stain. Check the abrasives frequently
and replace as required to maintain a full, aggressive cut.
3)
For final cut, use Bona BLUE abrasives in either grit 100
or 120 along with the ¼” Intermediate Pads to final prep
flooring surface for a sealer coat.
2)
After using Bona GREEN Ceramic abrasives on the coarse –
medium cuts, switch to Bona BLUE abrasives for the medium
– fine cuts along with the ¼” Intermediate Pads: 60 – 120
grits.
4)
For a final cut for a stained floor, Black 120 grit
with the ¼” Intermediate Pad is recommended.
Disclaimer: Depending on the specie or flooring type being sanded (strip vs. parquet or multi-specie), extra steps or variations of the steps listed
above may be required. You may also want to use the ¼” Intermediate Pads on all sanding steps to minimize scratch depth and bouncing or
hopping of the Bona
