SANDING: Open-coat aluminum oxide sanding sheets are recommended for most wood or metal
sanding applications, as this synthetic material cuts quickly and wears well. Some applications,
such as metal finishing or cleaning, require special abrasive pads that are available from your
dealer. For best results, use sanding and polishing accessories that are of superior quality and
are carefully selected to produce professional quality results with your sander.
The following suggestions may be used as a general guide for abrasive selection, 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 fine
For final sanding of bare wood, smoothing old paint, or preparing a finished sur-
face for recoating.
With the workpiece firmly secured, turn the tool
on as described above. Contact the workpiece
with the tool only after the sander has reached
its full speed and remove it from the workpiece
before switching the tool off. Operating your
sander in this manner will prolong switch and
motor life, and greatly increase the quality of
your work.
Move the sander in long steady strokes parallel
to the grain, using some lateral motion to overlap
the strokes by as much as 75%. DO NOT apply
excessive pressure — let the tool do the work.
Excessive pressure will result in poor handling,
vibration, and unwanted sanding marks (Fig. 8).
If the surface is rough, begin with coarser grits
and then complete the surfacing with medium and fine abrasives. To avoid uneven results, do not
skip more than one grit size when going from coarser to finer, and do not sand in one area for too
long. When the job is completed, gently lift the tool from the work surface and slide switch to the
"Off" position.
POLISHING: Your Multi-Function Detail sander may be fitted with optional abrasive mesh or
polishing pads to polish or remove scratches or corrosion from metal, painted, or other surfaces.
The tool is operated in much the same way as when sanding, but the following points should be
observed;
Use light pressure and a circular or overlapping motion to remove scratches and corrosion
•
or polish a surface.
If using a compound, use only as much as necessary and do not use the dust extraction
•
feature.
When working in very confined areas or louvered panels, the pad extension plate should be
•
used.
• Clean the buffing or mesh pads with mild detergents and warm water. DO NOT use
solvents.
