Selecting Sandpaper and Grits
Sandpaper can be made from various grit materials
and these should be selected according the material
to be sanded. The guidelines below list materials and
grit materials that should be used with them.
• Fine woodwork – garnet or aluminum oxide
• Rough woodwork – aluminum zirconia or ceramic
aluminum oxide
• Manufactured wood products (particleboard,
medium density fiber board, etc.) – silicon carbide
or aluminum oxide
• Solid surface materials (Corian
etc.) – silicon carbide or aluminum oxide
• Metals – emery or aluminum oxide
Sandpaper is also graded by coarseness. Start your
work with an abrasive grit just coarse enough to re-
move high spots and excessive roughness. Follow
with a second sanding using a grit one or two grades
finer. Continue with successively finer grits until you
obtain the desired finish.
Do not switch from a coarse grit to a very fine grit in
one step because it may be difficult to remove the
marks made by the coarse grit abrasive. Use the
finest grits practical for the roughing operation, and
finish by using successively finer grits.

Typical Application
Attaching Hook-and-Loop Sanding Discs
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Align holes in hook-and-loop type sanding disc
with holes in pad, then carefully press fuzzy side
of sanding disc against pad as tightly as possible.
NOTE: Hook-and-loop type sanding discs can
be reused for the life of the sanding abrasive. It
is recommended that you keep the sanding disc
backing pad clean to provide for best adhesion.
Clean occasionally by brushing lightly with a small
brush.
Changing the Backing Pad
The sander comes assembled
with the hook-and-loop pad.
To attach a pressure sensitive
adhesive (PSA) pad (not in-
cluded), first remove the hook-
and-loop pad. Inspect backing
pad before installing. Do not
use if broken or defective.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Remove the four screws
that hold the hook-and-loop
pad in place.
3. Remove the hook-and-loop
pad.
4. Clean dust particles from the
pad brake.
5. Apply a thin layer of light-
weight grease to the back
of the pad.
6. Align the holes in the pres-
sure sensitive adhesive
(PSA) pad with the four
screw holes in the sander.
7. Replace the four screws
securely.
Attaching PSA Sanding Discs
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Carefully peel paper backing from the pressure
sensitive adhesive type sanding disc.
3. Align holes in sanding disc with holes in backing
pad, then carefully press sticky side of disc against
pad as tightly as possible.
NOTE: Holes in sanding disc must line up with
holes in the backing pad in order for the dustless
feature of the sander to function properly.
NOTE: It is recommended that you clean backing
pad occasionally by brushing lightly with a small
brush. Dust buildup on backing pad could cause
sanding disc not to stick properly.
