Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury. If the sanding operating is dusty, also wear a
face or dust mask.

OPERATE THE MACHINE
Surface sanding
1. Start the machine.
2. Put it with the complete sanding surface on the surface to
be worked and move the machine with moderate pressure
over the workpiece.
The removal capacity and the sanding pattern are mainly
determined by the selection of the sanding sheet, the
preselected orbital stroke rate and the applied pressure.
Use only initial sanding accessories.
Rough Sanding
1. Attach a sanding sheet with coarse grain.
2. Apply only light pressure to the machine so that it runs at
a higher stroke rate and high material removal is
achieved.
Fine Sanding
1. Attach a sanding sheet with fine grain.
2. By lightly varying the application pressure or changing
the orbital stroke rate, the sanding plate stroke rate can be
reduced whereby the orbital action is maintained.
Polishing
1. Select a low orbital stroke rate (level 1 – 4) when
polishing in order to avoid heating up the surface
excessively.
2. Apply the polish onto a somewhat smaller surface than
you intend to polish. Work the polishing agent in with a
suitable polishing tool applying it crosswise or with
circular motion and moderate pressure.
3. Clean the polishing accessories regularly to ensure good
polishing results. Wash out polishing accessories with a
mild detergent and warm water; do not use paint thinner.
Do not allow the polishing agent to dry out on the surface,
otherwise the surface can become damaged. Do not subject
the surface to be polished to direct sunlight.

SANDPAPER SELECTION
•
Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is an
extremely important step in achieving a high quality
sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other
synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural
abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for
economical use in power sanding.
•
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and
finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding
operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will
determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is
rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is
uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove
