Know your product Unpacking The sander is designed for sanding wood, metal, plastic and similar materials. It is a finishing sander and should be used only when giving a surface a final sanding.

Operation Coarse, Medium and Fine. 2. Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work and fine grit to finish off. 3.

Metal particles become embedded in the sandpaper and will scour a wooden surface. Warning.

Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the sander. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended.
