4.Thread the assembled parts (clockwise) completely down on the spindle.
5.Depress the spindle lock button while turning the sanding disc until the sanding disc and clamp nut are snug.
6.To remove the wheel, grasp and turn the backing pad and sanding disc while depressing the spindle lock button.
USING SANDING BACKING PADS
Choose the proper grit sanding disc for your application. Sanding discs are available in various grits. Coarse grits yield faster material removal rates and a rougher finish. Finer grits yield slower material removal and a smoother finish.
Begin with lower grit discs for fast, rough material removal. Move to a medium grit paper and finish with a fine grit disc for optimal finish.
Coarse | 16 - 30 grit |
Medium | 36 - 80 grit |
Fine Finishing | 100 - 120 grit |
Very Fine Finishing | 150 - 180 grit |
1.Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool to the work surface.
2.Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to operate at high speed. Sanding rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.
3. Maintain a 5˚ to 15˚ angle between the tool and work surface. The sanding disc should contact approximately one
inch of work surface. The lower angle will produce a smoother surface.
Using only the outer edge at a higher angle will produce an irregular and bumpy finish. However, if the disc is used flat on the surface, the tool will be difficult to control.

4.Move the tool constantly in a straight line to prevent burning and swirling of work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface without moving, or moving the tool in a circular motion causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface.
5.Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.
Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint
1.Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.
2.Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following pre- cautions when sanding any paint:
PERSONAL SAFETY
1.No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being done until all clean up is com- pleted.
2.A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons enter- ing the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or when- ever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper N.I.O.S.H. approved mask.
3.NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area where dust would settle on them.
