SANDPAPER SELECTION
Selecting the correct size, grit and type of sand paper is an
extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded
fi nish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic
abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives,
such as fl int and garnet are too soft for economical use in
power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material
and fi ner grit will produce the best fi nish in all sanding
operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will
determine 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 fi ner grit used for fi nishing of the
surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until
surface is uniform.
WARNING
Do not use sander without sandpaper; doing so will
damage the cushion.
