MOUNTING SANDING BACKING PADS (FIG. 19)
CAUTION: Proper guard must be reinstalled for grinding wheel,
sanding flap disc, wire brush or wire wheel applications after sanding
applications are complete.
1. Place or appropriately thread backing
pad (X) on the spindle.
2. Place the sanding disc (Y) on the backing
pad.
3. While depressing spindle lock, threaded
sanding clamp nut (Z) on spindle, piloting
the raised hub on the clamp nut into the
center of san ding disc and backing pad.
4. Tighten the clamp nut by hand. Then
depress the spindle lock button while
turning the sanding disc until the sanding disc and clamp nut are
snug.
5. To remove the wheel, grasp and turn the backing pad and
sanding pad while depressing the spindle lock button.
USING SANDING BACKING PADS (FIG. 20)
Choose the proper grit sandpaper for your application. Sandpaper
is available in various grits. Coarse grits yield faster material removal
rates and a rougher finish. Finer grits yield slower material removal
and a smoother finish.
Begin with coarse grit discs for fast, rough material removal. Move
to a medium grit paper and finish with a fine grit disc for optimal
finish.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool to the work
surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to
operate at high speed. Sanding rate is greatest when the tool
operates at high speed.
3. Maintain a 5˚ to 15˚ angle between the tool and work surface. The
san ding disc should contact approximately one inch of work
surface.
4. Move the tool constantly in a straight line
to prevent burning and swirling of work
surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the
work surface without moving, or moving
the tool in a circular motion causes burning
and swirling marks on the work surface.
5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow
the tool to stop rotating before laying it down.
Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint
1. Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to
the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest
danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.
2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains
lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following
precautions when sanding any paint:
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area
where the paint sanding is being done until all clean up is
completed.
