4.Upon completion of sanding operation, turn sander off and wait until sanding disc comes to a complete stop before removing from workpiece.
5.Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the motor. If this occurs, turn sander off and wait until sanding disc comes to a complete stop, then remove it from workpiece.
Remove sanding disc, then turn sander on and run it free without a load (off the workpiece) to cool the motor.
SANDING TIPS
1.DO NOT force the sander. The weight of the sander" supplies adequate pressure on the workpiece. Let the sander and the sandpaper'sgrit do the work.
•Applying additional pressure will only slow down the motor, wear the sandpaper out faster and reduce the sander'sorbital speed.
•Excessive pressure will overload the motor and cause possible damage to the sander from the motor overheating.
•Excessive pressure will also result in a poor quality finish.
2.Any existing finish or resin on wood may soften from the heat of the friction and cause the sandpaper to
3.Inspect sandpaper frequently and change paper when grit is worn and not able to perform properly.
4.DO NOT sand in one spot for too long a time because tlnesander'srapid action may remove too much material and make the surface uneven.
SELECTING THE RIGHT SANDPAPER
Selecting the correct grit and type of sandpaper is an extremely important decision that will allow you to achieve the best quality sanding finish.
1.Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding.
2.Natural abrasives such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in power sanding.
3.Coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will give you the best finish in all sanding operations.
4.The condition of the surface to be sanded will determiine which grit will do the job.
5.If the surface is rough:
•Start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform.
•Then use medium to remove any scratches left by the coarse grit.
•Then use a finer grit for finishingthe surface.
NOTE: ALWAYS continue sanding with each grit until the surface is uniform.
NOTE: DO NOT use the sander without sandpaper. This will damage the cushion.
