ASSEMBLY AND USE
Selecting the right grade of sanding belt
Different grades of sanding belt can be purchased from the store where
you purchased the tool. Available grades are: Coarse, Medium and Fine.
Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work
and fine grit to finish off.
It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the
optimum grades of sanding belt for a particular job.
