6. Grit selection
Sanding belts are available in a variety of grades depending upon
the coarseness (particle size) of the grit embedded in the cloth.
As an approximate guide:
Material
Solid Wood
Chipboard
Veneered Wood
Plastics
Paint Removal
Acrylics
7. Using the machine
This is a compact but powerful machine and should only be used
by competent operators who have read and understood the
Instruction Manual.
This mini sander is optimally suited for the sanding of narrow
workpieces, or for use in confined areas where a full sized belt
sander would be difficult to manoeuvre.
Some general guidance:
• Always wear a dust mask and safety glasses, and any other
safety equipment as necessary.
• Select the sanding belt carefully for the job in hand.
• Be aware that the belt sander will 'travel' along the workpiece.
Hold the machine firmly and guide it along the workpiece in a
straight line.
• Light downwards pressure is all that is necessary to achieve
best results. There is no need to press the machine into the
workpiece with any great force.
• Two, three or more passes over the same track will achieve
better results than trying to remove all of the waste material
in one pass.
