BE CAREFUL when sanding at the
end of a board. Keep the tool level
and flat on the work surface. Don’t
let the front of the tool drop. (Fig.
6). If this happens, it will round the
edge.
The model 352VS sander works
very fast and can do a thorough job
in a fraction of the time required by
hand sanding. Do not rush the job.
Give every surface a thorough
sanding with each grade of abrasive
before changing to finer grits.
Always use the abrasive material
and grit size recommended for the
particular job.
SANDING METAL
Use the Belt Sander to obtain a grained satin finish on metal. A special
graphite pad is available to replace the steel shoe on the bottom of the
sander. The softness of this pad aids in blending the graining. The pad is the
proper length for sanders using a 3" x 24" belt. For sanders using shorter belt
lengths, cut the pad so that it is the same length as the steel shoe. Replace
the steel shoe with the graphite pad.

GOOD SANDING TECHNIQUE
Getting to know the sander is most important in obtaining smooth results with
a minimum of labor. Operators will quickly learn how to start a stroke with a
sweeping motion to produce the best results. Use a long even stroke without
additional pressure on the tool. Overlap each stroke and vary the length of
movement so the results will be even. Always lift the tool from the work before
starting and stopping the motor.
