Hints for optimum use (fig. E)
Always hold the tool with both hands.
x
Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
x
Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet.
x
Replace when necessary.
Always sand with the grain of the wood.

When sanding new layers of paint before applying
x
another layer, use extra fine grit.
On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of
x
paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start
with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a
fine grit for a smooth finish.
Consult your retailer for more information on available
