Set (Fig .8)
WARNING

–
glasses with side shields during power
tool operation . If the operation is dusty,
also wear a dust mask .
Wear protective gloves .
–
a. Align the sandpaper with the sanding plate
and use your hand to press it firmly onto the
sanding plate.
b. It is recommended that you sand a test
sample of the workpiece first to select the
best sanding paper for your job.
c. Select a high-speed range when sanding
with the multi-tool.
d. Allow the tool to reach its full selected speed
before allowing it to contact the workpiece.
Press the power tool with the sanding
plate set firmly against the workpiece. This
provides for good adhesion and prevents
premature wear.
e. Work with the entire surface of the sanding
plate and sanding paper, not just the tip.
When one tip or corner of the sanding paper
is worn, the sandpaper can be removed,
turned 120°, and reattached.
f. Sand the workpiece in a continuous motion
with moderate pressure. Excessive pressure
does not increase the rate of removal. It will result in unwanted sanding marks and cause
the sanding paper to wear more quickly. It can also cause tool overload.
