Selecting the Sanding Pad


Always use abrasive pads suited to the material you want to sand. The
pads must have the correct grain size.

Depending on grain size there are degrees of coarseness. The
coarseness is specified by a number on the back of the pads. (A small
number means very coarse pad. The higher the number is, the finer the
grain.)

It is important to use the right pad for each job. For rough sanding use
grain sizes up to 80, for soft wood as larch, pine or spruce use pads from
120 to 150. For dense hardwood as beech or maple, the grain sizes up to
220 can be used.

suction devices, particularly when sanding painted surfaces.
