SANDING TIPS
● Clamp work-piece to the workbench wherever possible. Ensure that
work-pieces cannot move during work.
● If the tool is connected to a vacuum dust extracting system, switch the
extraction device on before switching on the sander. Switch the sander off
first, then the vacuum system.
● Move the machine in a circular motion over the work-piece surface,
applying an even, moderate pressure until you reach the desired surface
finish.
WARNING: Excessive pressure does not lead to a faster removal of
material; it will however lead to premature wear of the sanding disc, and
may cause damage to the machine. Both sanding performance and quality
depend mainly on the choice of the correct sanding discs.
● If there are still scratches on your work-piece after sanding, refer to
"Selecting the right grade of sanding disc".
