1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool to the work
surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work
surface, allowing the tool to operate
at high speed. Sanding rate is
greatest when the tool operates at
high speed.
3. Maintain a 5° to 15° angle between
the tool and work surface. The
san ding disc should contact
approximately 1" (25.4 mm) of work
surface.
4. Move the tool constantly in a straight line to prevent burning and
swirling of work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the work
surface without moving, or moving the tool in a circular motion
causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface.
5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow
the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.
