Instruction Manual
As a rule of thumb, one grinding step should be twice as long as it
takes to remove the scratches from the previous step.
The speed should normally be highest during coarse grinding and
then be reduced with the smaller grit sizes.
Depends on the roughness of the surface and the condition of the
grinding paper. An unprepared surface and a new piece of grinding
paper requires only little pressure.
Do not use the whole surface of the grinding paper, just grind with
the outer edge of the paper. This gives better grinding and a more
uniform scratch pattern.
The right angle handle, gear and motor may become warm to hold,
but this does not mean that anything is wrong. As the reduction gear
throttles down the rotational speed some energy will be lost as heat.
The grinding papers should be kept separate from the polishing
cloths in order to prevent the grinding particles contaminating the
polishing cloths.
