See Figure 10

in a vise or clamp to
workbench.
Hold your sander in front and away from you with
beth
hands.
With the sanding
disc clear of the
workpiece, start your sander and let the motor reach
its maximum speed, then lower to the work surface
at a slight 5 to 8 degree angle. See Fig. 10. Do not
allow the tool to remain in one place, Th_s will cause
uneven sanding or gouging of the work. Keep your
sander slowly moving over the work.
This tool was designed so that the weight of the tool
alone will provide adequate weight on the sanding
disc. Extra pressure will only result in uneven work,
slower sanding
from slower speed, and possible
motor bum-out.
Upon completion of work, or a sanding operation, lift
your sander away from work surface before turning
off,
To remove
paint, varnish, or rust, sand with an
openkote type s_ndlng disc.
Another method of removing paint or rust is by wire
brushing.
The
wire cup
brush may
be threaded
directly onto the spindle.
