Selecting the right grade of sandpaper
•Different grades of sanding paper can be purchased from your local hardware store. Available grades are: Coarse, Medium and Fine.
•Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work and fine grit to finish off.
•It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the optimum grades of sandpaper for
a particular job. If there are still marks on your work after sanding, try either going back to a coarser grade and sanding the marks out before recommencing with the original choice of grit, or try using a new piece of sandpaper to eliminate the unwanted marks before going on to a finer grit and finishing the job.
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched
off and the plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
