APPLICATION ADVICE
• Move the tool in straight movements in line with the grain
- for sanding bare wood surfaces
- for extra fine finishing
• Never use the same sanding sheet for wood and metal
• Recommended sanding sheet grits:
coarse - for removing paint;
for sanding of extremely rough wood
medium - for sanding of rough or plain wood
fine
- for smoothing of wood;
for finishing of bare wood;
for smoothing surfaces with old paint
• Use different grit sizes when the working surface is rough:
- start sanding with coarse or medium grit
- finish with fine grit
• Vibration level
The vibration emission level stated at the back of this
instruction manual has been measured in accordance
with a standardised test given in EN 60745; it may be
used to compare one tool with another and as a
preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when
using the tool for the applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with
different or poorly maintainted accessories, may
signif cantly increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it
is running but not actually doing the job, may
significantly reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration
by maintaining the tool and its accessories,
keeping your hands warm, and organizing
your work patterns
