Sanding

WARNING: Fire hazard. When working on metal
surfaces, do not use a vacuum cleaner because
sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a
dust mask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your
sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for
wetsanding.
NOTE: Do not rest fingers on platen during use. Move it in
long sweeping strokes across the surface, letting it do the
work. Light pressure is all that is required for sanding.
Helpful Hints
• Always ensure the work piece is firmly held or clamped
to prevent movement. Any movement of the material
may affect the quality of the cutting or sanding finish.
• Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper
attached to sanding platen.
• Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces,
medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the
finishing surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on
scrapmaterial.
• Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and
cause motor overload. Replacing the accessory regularly
will maintain optimum working efficiency.
• Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away, it will
damage the sanding pad.
• Always keep the blade sharp.
