Using the Sander (Fig. G)
To operate your sander, grasp it as shown in Figure G. Hold
the tool firmly and turn it on. Apply the sanding disc to the
workpiece and apply slight pressure only. Be sure to check
your work often. This sander is capable of removing material
rapidly, especially with coarse paper.
To produce the best finish possible, start with coarse grit
sandpaper and change gradually to finer and finer paper.
Vacuum and wipe the surface with a tack cloth between
grit steps.
When sanding painted surfaces (see
Additional safety
Rules for Paint Removal
), you may find that the
sandpaper clogs with paint. A heat gun will work much
better to remove paint before sanding. Follow all the safety
instructions in the heat gun instruction manual.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
