OPERATION
Removal work
e.g. carpets & backing, old tile adhesives,caulking on masonry, wood and other
surfaces.
Cleaning work
e.g. cleaning of tiles, wood surfaces, skis etc.
Removal of excess materials
e.g. plaster, mortar splatters, concrete on tiles,sills.
Preparation of surfaces
e.g. for new floors and tiles.
Detail sanding
e.g. for sanding in extremely tight areas, such as louvered panels, crafts, otherwise
difficult to reach and require hand sanding
SCRAPING
Scrapers are suitable for removing old coats of varnish or adhesives, removing
bonded carpeting, e.g. on stairs/steps and other small/medium size surfaces.
Wide scrapers are for large area removal,narrow for use in hard-to-reach areas.
Turn the tool on and place desired accessory on the area where material is to be
removed.
Begin with a flat angle and light pressure. The stroke motion of accessory only
occurs when pressure is applied to the material to be removed.
Excessive pressure can gouge or damage the background surfaces (e.g,. wood,
plaster).
Work with the accessory away from the body.Never position hand near or directly in
front of working area. Always hold the tool with both hands and wear protective
gloves.
SANDING
1. Sanding accessories are suitable for dry sanding of wood, metal, smaller
surfaces corners and edges and hard to reach areas.
2. Profiles and grooves may be finished using the tip or edge of the selected
accessory, which should occasionally be rotated during use to distribute the
wear on the accessory and backing pad surface.
3. Always be certain that smaller workpieces are securely fastened to a bench or
other support. Larger panels may be held in place by hand on a bench or
sawhorses.
4. The following suggestions may be used as a general guide for abrasive selec-
tion, but the best results will be obtained by sanding a test sample of the
workpiece first.
Grit Application
Coarse For rough wood or metal sanding, and rust or old finish removal.
Medium For general wood or metal sanding
Fine For final finishing of wood, metal, plaster and other surfaces.
Extra fin For final sanding of bare wood, smoothing old paint,or preparing a finished
surface for recoating.
