Hints for optimum use
Do not place your hands over the ventilation slots.
Always hold the tool with both hands (fig. D).
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 (fig. D).
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.

accessories.
