USING THE SANDER

STARTING TO WORK

This finishing sander has been designed for one or two hand operation, and
can easily be guided over the work surface. The normal weight of the machine
is sufficient for efficient sanding. Putting additional pressure on the machine
only slows down the speed of the pad, reduces the sanding efficiency, and
puts an additional burden on the motor. Also, additional pressure might cause
the sander to “jump”. Always start the machine before placing it on the work
surface. Once it has started, ease it down on the work surface evenly and
move it slowly back and forth in wide, overlapping arcs. When you are through
sanding, lift the sander off of the work before stopping the motor.
