wide, overlapping arcs. Do not concentrate on small areas. If liquid removers
or heaters are used to speed the work, be sure the surface is cool and dry
and the excess material has been scraped away with a putty knife or other
suitable scraping tool before applying the sander.
CABINETS AND DOORS
The orbital motion of the Porter-Cable Finishing Sander is ideally suited for
finishing doors, cabinet fronts and other installations where wood grain is
often perpendicular to that of a joining piece. Since the motion is circular, the
machine may be moved in any direction and crossed from one part to the
other without regard to direction of grain. A uniform and smooth finish will
result on both parts. The same procedure may be used when evening joints
in all types of cabinet work. The sander may be worked on both sides and in
all directions to obtain a smooth, matching joint. By properly changing from
coarser to finer grit abrasives, an excellent finish will result.
RUBBING AND POLISHING
The finishing sander is excellent for all types of polishing and rubbing on flat
or round surfaces. Felt rubbing pads, available as accessory equipment can
be quickly attached for rubbing operations. With it, metal parts, enameled
surfaces and woodwork may be polished. Use rouge or paste wax for
polishing with the finishing sander.
MAINTENANCE
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic
parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean
plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
FAILURE TO START
Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug
are making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open
circuit breakers in the line.
