5. SELECT THE RIGHT SAND PAPER

Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper is an extremely important decision that will allow you to achieve the best quality 

sanding finish.

Coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will give you the best finish in all sanding operations. The 

condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the job.

If the surface is rough: 

Start with coarse grit (sold separately) and sand until the surface is uniform. Then use medium to remove any scratches 

left by the coarse grit. Then use finer grit (sold separately) for finishing the surface.

NOTE: 

Always continue sanding with each grit until the surface is uniform.

Push down the ON/OFF switch at the position “I” to 

switch the product on. 

Push down the ON/OFF switch at the position “O” to switch 

the product off.

OPERATION

Your sander is equipped with a vacuum adapter, which is 

designed for collecting dust. Insert the vacuum adapter 

into the rear dust extraction outlet and ensure it is 

tightened securely. Then connect the adapter to the hose 

of a vacuum cleaner.

While using, first please turn on the vacuum cleaner, and 

then turn on the sander. If you stop sanding, first turn off 

the sander, and then turn off your vacuum cleaner.

NOTE:

 Please pull the hose to make sure it is tightened 

securely on the dust extraction outlet.

NOTE: 

Use of vacuum extraction does not negate the 

need to wear personal protective equipment, especially 

respiratory protective equipment.
