Keep the entire sanding
pad in contact with the workpiece
at all times during sanding.
5. Upon completion of the sanding operation, remove the sander from the
workpiece and then turn off the sander.
Sanding Tips
Never force the sander. The weight of the sander supplies adequate
pressure, allowing the sandpaper to do the work. Applying additional
pressure will slow the motor, rapidly wear the sandpaper, and greatly
reduce the sander speed. This will slow the removal rate and produce an
inferior quality surface.
Note:
Excessive pressure will overload the motor, causing possible
damage to the sander by overheating the motor; or damage to the
workpiece.
Be sure to check your workpiece often. The sander is capable of removing
material rapidly, especially with coarse paper.
The orbital action of your sander allows you to sand with the grain, or at
any angle across it for most sanding jobs. In the final stages a better finish
will be achieved by sanding with the grain.
Do not sand on one spot for too long. The sander’s rapid action may remove
too much material, creating an uneven surface.
