OPERATION

Sanding operation

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the workpiece
is secured firmly.
NOTICE:
Never run the tool without the abrasive
paper. You may seriously damage the pad.
NOTICE:
Never force the tool. Excessive pressure
may decrease the sanding efficiency, damage the
abrasive paper and/or shorten tool life.
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and wait until it
attains full speed. Then gently place the tool on the
workpiece surface. A finishing sander is generally used
to remove only a small amount of material at a time.
Since the quality of the surface is more important than
the amount of stock removed, do not bear down on the
tool. Keep the base flush with the workpiece at all times.
► Fig.32
You can sand the material with upper and down side of
the pad when you sand with the triangular/rectangular
pad. It is convenient when you sand an object such as
louver.

cracks may result.
