APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
[] Sanding on wood surfaces
[] Removing rust from and sanding metal surfaces
SELECTING SANDING DISCS
Selecting the correct size grit and type sanding disc is
an extremely important step in achieving a high quality
sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other
synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural
abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for use in
power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and
finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding opera-
tions. The condition of the surface to be sanded will deter-
mine which grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, start
with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform.
Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by
the coarser grit and finer grit used for finishing of the sur-
face. Always continue sanding with each grit until surface
is uniform.

SANDING DISCS
See Figure 2.
[] Unplug the sander.
[] Align the holes in the sanding disc with the holes in the
hook-and-loop backing pad.
NOTE: Holes in sanding disc must line up with holes in
the backing pad in order for the dustless feature of the
sander to function properly.
[] Press the sanding disc against the backing pad as
firmly as possible.
NOTE: For best adhesion, we recommend that you
clean the backing pad and the sanding disc back-
ing occasionally by brushing them lightly with a small
brush.
