Hints for optimum use

hands (fig. P1 & P2). Do not place your hands over the
ventilation slots.
Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet.
Replace when necessary.
Always sand with the grain of the wood.
When sanding new layers of paint before applying another
layer, use extra fine grit.
On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of
paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start with
a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine
grit for a smooth finish.
