Vacuum adaptor
The vacuum adaptor (5) will enable most standard vacuum cleaner hoses to be fitted
to the sander for efficient dust extraction.
Sandpaper Selection
Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper is an important step in achieving optimum
results. Coarse grit will remove the most material. Finer grit will produce a smoother
finish. The condition of the workpiece will determine the grit of the sandpaper to be
used. The higher the grit number, the finer the grade of sandpaper.
If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform.
Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit. Finer grit
is then used to finish the surface. Always continue sanding with each grade of
sandpaper until the surface is uniform.
Note:
If intermediate sanding is required, choose a grit rating between coarse and
fine. The above table is intended as a guide only. To ensure a satisfactory result, a
small, inconspicuous area should first be tested to ensure the grit of sandpaper
chosen is suitable for the desired finish.
