INSTALLING SANDPAPER – cont’d

 

 

3.  Wrap the sandpaper sheet (3) over the 

backing pad (2) and insert it into the open 

rear sandpaper clamp (5) (Fig. 4).   

NOTE: Make sure the sandpaper is pulled 

tight over the backing pad for proper 

sanding operation. 

 

4.  Lift the sandpaper clamp lever up and 

inward to lock the sandpaper into the 

clamp. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PUNCHING HOLES IN SANDPAPER 

 

The sandpaper must have 8 holes punched in it 

to allow the sanding dust to escape from the 

working surface. The pattern of these holes 

must match the hole pattern on the sanding pad. 

If the sandpaper you are using does not have 

the holes punched, use the hole punch supplied 

with the tool to pierce the sandpaper in the 

correct locations. 

 

1.  Install the sandpaper as shown in  

Fig. 3 & 4. 

 

2.  Place the hole punch (1) on a sturdy flat 

surface (Fig. 5). 

 

 

 

3.  Align the corner of the sanding pad (2) with 

the corner of the hole punch (3). This will 

ensure the holes are punched in the 

correct location. 

 

4.  When the sanding pad is correctly aligned 

on the hole punch, press the sanding pad 

firmly onto the hole punch. 

NOTE: The sharp pegs (4) in the hole 

punch will pierce the sandpaper in the 

correct location. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SANDPAPER SELECTION 

 

Selecting the correct grit and type of sandpaper 

is extremely important 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 best 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. Fine 

grit should be used for finishing the surface.  

Always continue sanding with each grit until the 

surface is uniform.
