Operation Safety Choosing Sandpaper
SECTION 6: OPERATION
To avoid serious personal injury, read and
become familiar with the entire instruction
manual before using the Model G0518.
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears
could result from failure to wear safety
glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protec-
tion while sanding with this machine.
Loose hair and clothing
could get caught in
machinery and cause
serious personal injury.
Keep loose clothing
rolled up and long hair
tied up and away from
machinery.
The grit you choose will depend on the type of
work, the species of wood and the stage of fin-
ishing. Below is a chart that groups sandpaper
into different categories and shows which grits fall
into each one. We recommend using aluminum
oxide sandpaper for best results.
The general rule of thumb is to sand a workpiece
with progressively higher grit numbers, with no
one grit increase of more than 50; however, the
type of wood you use and your stage of finish will
determine the best grit types to install on your
sander.
Grit Type
60
80-100
120-150
Coarse
Medium
Fine
