2. USES
ORBITAL SANDER: A single-handed sander for dry
surface finishing. Equipped with forced suctioning of
sanding dust.
To obtain a good quality finish, slide the machine over the
surface to be worked in repetitive elliptical movements
to avoid the formation of grooves on the sanded surface.
To achieve the desired finish, the surface should be sanded
several times using a finer grain of abrasive each time.
