OPERATION
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 scratches left by the coarser grit and
finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue
sanding with each grit until surface is uniform.
NOTE: DO NOT use sander without sandpaper. Doing so
will damage the sanding pad.
WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack when attaching
or changing sanding sheets. Failure to do so
could cause accidental starting, leading to serious
personal injury.
