SELECTING THE ABRASIVE
The best finishes can be achieved by selecting the proper type of abrasive. coarser grit abrasives will remove the most material while finer grit abrasives will produce the best finishes.
Achieve best results by selecting the proper size and type of abrasives. Start the work with an abrasive grit just coarse enough to remove high spots and excessive roughness. Follow with a second sanding using a grit one or two grades finer. Continue using successively finer grits until the desired finish is obtained.
ATTACHING PAD OR PROFILE MOUNTING PLATE
All of the accessory pads and profile mounting plates are attached to the tool in the same way. Each pad or mounting plate has two posts (A) Fig. 7 used to attach it to the Profile Sander.
One pad post fits into a pocket (B) Fig. 7 in the tool, and the other post is locked into place by a tab (C) Fig. 7. The mounting post area (of all the pads and mounting plates) is symmetrical. The pad (or mounting plate) can be attached to the Profile Sander with either end forward, which allows the use of both pointed ends of each sheet of pad abrasive, and permits the profile holders to be mounted in the best position for each particular application.
