HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
• Always hold the tool with two hands.
• Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the sanding belt. Replace when necessary.
• Always sand with the grain of the wood.
• Always start your sander before it is in contact with the workpiece and do not switch it off
until after it has been lifted from the workpiece.
• Where possible, clamp the workpiece to a work bench or similar sturdy surface.
• 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.
• Use the correct grit sanding belt for your application. The following is a suggested list of
belt grits to use with different materials.

performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result in serious
personal injury.
