NB: To prevent splintering, wood always needs
to be sanded in the longitudinal direction of the
grain.
To treat a very soft surface, there is a very handy
method to 'bring the particles to the surface'.
This is done as follows: wet the already sanded
surface with a cloth or sponge and let it dry well.
Some wood fibres will swell up more than others,
which leads to a rougher surface than before.
Now the higher particles are treated with fine
sanding paper, the result is a remarkably smooth
surface. This method should not be applied with
varnished wood, however, because the varnish
may come loose because of the moisture.
5. Maintenance
Make sure that the machine is not live
when carrying out maintenance work on
the motor.
The Ferm machines have been designed to
operate over a long period of time with a minimum

operation depends upon proper machine care and
regular cleaning.
