4.2 Sanding Techniques

The double-action eccentric movement of this sander allows for rapid material removal and a swirl-free finish.

• Preparation: Secure your workpiece to prevent movement during sanding. Select the appropriate grit abrasive sheet for your task (coarser for heavy removal, finer for finishing).
• Starting: Place the sander flat on the workpiece before turning it on. This prevents gouging.
• Movement: Move the sander slowly and evenly across the surface. Apply light, consistent pressure. Avoid pressing down too hard, as this can reduce efficiency and damage the surface or the sander.
• Coverage: Overlap each pass by about half the width of the sanding pad to ensure uniform sanding.
• Finishing: For a smoother finish, gradually switch to finer grit abrasive sheets.
