WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR PALM SANDER
Always use sand paper that is suitable for the material you want to sand. Always ensure the work-
piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Any movement of the material may affect
the quality of the sanding finish. Start your sander before sanding and turn it off only after you
stop sanding. For the best results, sand wood in the direction of the grain. Do not start sanding
without having the sandpaper fitted. Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away it will damage the
base-plate. The guarantee also cover base-plate wear and tear. Use coarse grit paper to sand
rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the final surfaces. If necessary,
first make a test run on scrap material. Use only good quality sandpaper. The sandpaper controls
the sanding efficiency, not the amount of force you apply to the tool. Excessive force will reduce
the sanding fficiency and cause motor overload. Replacing the sandpaper regularly will maintain
optimum sanding efficiency.

persons in order to avoid a hazard.
