USING THE SANDER
STARTING TO WORK
This finishing sander has been designed for one or two hand operation, and can easily be guided over the work surface. The normal weight of the machine is sufficient for efficient sanding. Putting additional pressure on the machine only slows down the speed of the pad, reduces the sanding efficiency, and puts an additional burden on the motor. Also, additional pressure might cause the sander to “jump”. Always start the machine before placing it on the work surface. Once it has started, ease it down on the work surface evenly and move it slowly back and forth in wide, overlapping arcs. When you are through sanding, lift the sander off of the work before stopping the motor.
