• Always start with a coarser grit sandpaper (e.g., P80) for removing material or old finishes, then progress to finer grits (e.g., P240) for a smooth finish.
• Apply light, even pressure. Excessive pressure can reduce sanding efficiency and damage the workpiece or sander.

• Regularly check the sandpaper for wear and replace it when it becomes dull or clogged.

2. To turn the sander ON, press the power switch.
3. To turn the sander OFF, press the power switch again.
