The Palm Sander is used primarily for final sanding or light sanding of material edges, but coarse sandpaper can also be used. Use the (hand-held) Belt Sander or the 6" Belt / 12" Disc Sander for more agressive sanding, or the 1" Belt / 8" Disc Sander for light sanding of relatively small shapes

• DO NOT operate while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication
• SECURE any loose fitting jewelry or clothing, tie back long hair - they can get caught in moving parts
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the sander
• DO NOT wet sand with this sander. Liquids may enter the motor housing and cause electric shock
• DO NOT USE sand paper that is torn. Damage to the rubber backing pad may occur
• REFER to instruction manual for further information (see Studio Technician)

OTHER THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN USING THIS MACHINE:

• When attaching new abrasive paper, use the sand-paper-punch to perforate holes to make dust collection possible
• Make sure the dust collection bag is securely attached before sanding
• After long periods of sanding, or when first using the tool, check to see if the dust collection bag needs to be emptied
• Do not use sand paper that requires adhesion to the sander with double sided tape. Removal of the sand paper may cause damage to the rubber sanding pad
• "Work through the grits". This is the process of sanding a workpiece by using progressively finer pieces of sandpaper to get a smooth finish. Each progressive piece of sandpaper removes the scratches from the previous sanding. Skipping grits to save time is not necessarily a good idea. You will often end up sanding longer just to remove the scratches left by the previous grit. This is more important with harder woods like maple than it is with softer woods like pine
