  • Page 9: General Sanding

    Hold the sander off the work before starting the motor. Lower the sander to the work, touching the rear part of the belt first. Level the machine when moving it forward. Guide the machine over the work in overlapping strokes. Allow the sander to do the work.
  • Page 10 Read and follow “ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR PAINT REMOVAL” section of this manual. The 352VS is an excellent tool for removing old paint and varnish from flat surfaces. However, two problems are common: 1) sanding material that loads the abrasive and, 2) friction heat caused by working too long in one place. To overcome the loading problem, use a coarse grit open coat abrasive belt and a single stroke action.
  • Page 11 Fig. 6 The model 352VS sander works very fast and can do a thorough job in a fraction of the time required by hand sanding. Do not rush the job. Give every surface a thorough sanding with each grade of abrasive before changing to finer grits.
