SELECTING THE RIGHT
SANDING BELT
Different sanding belt grits may be purchased from the store where you
purchased the tool. Available grits 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 best
grits for a particular job.

could ignite in the presence of sparks or an open flame. To avoid injury, always
use your sander in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks and flames.

installed in place.
