Model D3736 Palm Finishing Sander
-7-
Determine the appropriate grit size for
your project and sand the work evenly
in the same direction as the grain of the
wood. Always keep the sander moving so
the finish of your work stays consistent.
If the sander stays in one place too long,
then it may produce a depression in the
wood that will compromise your finish.
Sanding across the grain of the wood may
be necessary in some cases to remove
rough defects. This should be done with
caution, however, because it can produce
cross-grain scratching that will require
further sanding to remove.
Tip: Try using the sandpaper that
came with your sander as a template
for cutting holes in new
1 ⁄
4
sheets
to match those on the bottom of the
sander—so the dust bag can collect
dust particles. Use a paper punch
to cut the holes; or mark the holes,
score them with a sharp knife, and
cut them out.
Electrical shock hazard! Only use
sander for dry sanding. Never use
sander for wet sanding!
Change sheets as soon as the grit
becomes dull. And, never apply excessive
force while sanding. Your sander and
paper will last longer if you let them do
the work.
Using the dust bag will help keep your
work area clean and reduce dust particle
emission.
To install the dust bag, do these steps:
1. Insert the dust bag spout into the
dust port and make sure it fits snugly.
2. When the dust bag is half full,
remove the dust bag from the sander
and empty it into a trash receptacle
by gently tapping on the side of the
bag.
Always wear a respirator or dust mask
and safety glasses when emptying the
dust bag.
