Sanding Cuts and Sandpaper

GENERAL CUTTING
As the machine is designed to have a random cutting pattern, any direction of travel is permitted, however it is recommended that the
machine be continuously moved during operation. A path of forward and back then over half is also a general sanding pattern.
INITIAL CUT
The purpose of the initial cut is to remove old finish, gross imperfections, and belt/drum sander marks on the floor surface. Use a
course grain abrasive (40-60 grit). For extreme cases use 36 grit abrasive.
FINAL CUTS
The purpose of a finishing cut is to remove the scratches from the initial cut and edger cuts. Use a fine grain abrasive (80-100 grit).
If the surface remains rough after a finishing cut, it may be necessary to use an even finer grain sandpaper abrasive or use a screen
abrasive. The pad used with the screen can also be used with fine grit sandpaper to get the desired finish. Care should be taken in
selecting the grit size of the abrasive. A very fine grain will close the pores on a wood floor making admission of a stain difficult.
If glazing or burning should occur the abrasive has dulled and must be replaced.
NOTE: This machine is used for fine finish sanding. However 36 and 40 grit sand paper can be used for special applications.
