Instructions, tips and tricks
Move the oscillating sander parallel, in flat
circles or alternating between lengthwise and
side-to-side motions.
Do not press down with the oscillating sander.
The sanding sheets become clogged, which re-
duces the sanding performance.
Clean the sanding sheet 9 occasionally with
the vacuum cleaner.
The removal performance and therefore the re-
sult of your work are determined by the correct
selection of the speed and sanding sheet
9 grit.
Never sand different materials with the same
sanding sheet
9 (e.g. wood then metal).
The following table offers some values, which are
for information only and may simplify the selection
