ATTACHING ABRASIVE SHEET

SELECTING THE RIGHT ABRASIVE SHEET

By selecting the proper type of abrasive, the finest finishes can be attained. In general, coarser grit sizes will remove the most material and finer grit sizes will produce the best finishes.

Naturally, in all sanding operations, best results will be obtained if you select the proper size and type of abrasives. Only garnet, aluminum oxide and sili- con carbide are recommended for use with finishing sanders. Flint paper is not satisfactory for machine sanding, due to its weak structure.

Before starting to work, make sure you have the right abrasive for the mater- ial on which the sander is to be used. Make sure you use the correct size abra- sive paper or cloth. Cut, do not tear, the abrasive sheets to size. The Model CL180PS uses 1/3 sheet size sanding paper.
