Replacing.Sanding.Sleeves
The Model W1686 is supplied with (10) 100-grit sanding
sleeves. Use coarse grits for fast material removal and a
rough finish. Use fine grits for slower material removal
and a smoother finish. When changing from a coarse
sleeve to a finer sleeve on a particular sanding project,
avoid increasing the grit number by intervals of more than
50.

Monitor the wear on the sanding
sleeves. The upper portion of the
sanding sleeve often gets very little
use. If this is the case, flip the sanding
sleeve over and re-install. This allows
maximum use of the sleeve. Worn
sanding sleeves will not efficiently
remove material and can burn the
wood.
