For ease of operation your sander has a front handle
and a rear handle. These handles allow two-hand
operation which aid in maintaining control and keep-
ing sanding area level with workpiece.
SAN DPAPER SELECTION
Selecting the correct size and type sandpaper is an
extremely important step in achieving a high quality
sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicone carbide,
and other synthetic abrasives are best for power san-
ding. Other natural abrasives, such as flint and
garnet sandpaper 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 sand-
paper will do the job. If the surface is rough, start
with a coarse grit paper sanding until surface is
uniform. Medium grit paper may then be used to
remove scratches left by the coarser paper and finer
grit paper used for finishing of the surface. Always
continue sanding with each grit paper until surface
is uniform.

paper. See Figure 2.
4. Position sandpaper into place, then carefully
press sticky side of sandpaper on cushion.
