SURFACE FINISHING WITH SANDING FLAP DISCS
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the tool to the
work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to
operate at high speed. Sanding rate is greatest when the tool
operates at high speed.
3. Maintain a 5˚ to 10˚ angle between
the tool and work surface.
4. Continuously move the tool in a
forward and back motion to avoid
creating gouges in the work surface.
5. Remove the tool from work surface
before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before lay-
ing it down.
MOUNTING SANDING BACKING PADS
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any
adjustments or removing or installing attachments or acces-
sories. Before reconnecting the tool, turn the switch on and off
as previously described to ensure that the tool is off.
CAUTION: Proper guard must be reinstalled for grinding wheel,
sanding flap disc, wire brush or wire wheel applications after sand-
ing applications are complete.
1. Place or appropriately thread backing

clamp nut are snug.

sanding pad while depressing the spindle lock button.
USING SANDING BACKING PADS
Choose the proper grit sandpaper for your application. Sandpaper
is available in various grits. Coarse grits yield faster material
removal rates and a rougher finish. Finer grits yield slower
material removal and a smoother finish.
Begin with coarse grit discs for fast, rough material removal.
Move to a medium grit paper and finish with a fine grit disc for
optimal finish.
Coarse 16 - 30 grit
Medium 36 - 80 grit
Fine Finishing 100 - 120 grit
Very Fine Finishing 150 - 180 grit
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool to the
work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the tool to
operate at high speed. Sanding rate is greatest when the tool
operates at high speed.
3. Maintain a 5˚ to 15˚ angle between
the tool and work surface. The sanding
disc should contact approximately one
inch of work surface.
4. Move the tool constantly in a straight
line to prevent burning and swirling of
work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface with-
out moving, or moving the tool in a circular motion causes burn-
ing and swirling marks on the work surface.
