Any time you are unsure about which grit to begin with, experiment in a small corner or area that isn’t very noticeable on your project. Ideally, you want to achieve the balance of removing defects without damaging your work. ALUMINUM OXIDE and SILICON CARBIDE abrasives are an excellent choice because they last longer and are sharper than natural abrasives. Attaching Abrasives Abrasive sheets are easily attached with the hook-and-loop system on the pad of your G9907 sander. Fit the sheet over the pad so that it covers the entire area, push and slightly twist to make sure the coated abrasive sheet is snug on the pad. Make sure you don’t cover the suction holes. Remove abrasive sheets by pinching an edge or corner and peeling off. Using the Sander Starting with the coarsest grit you have determined to be sufficient for the job, sand the work evenly, in the same direction as the grain of the wood. Always keep the machine moving so the finish of your work stays consistent. If you stay in one place too long, then the sander 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. Change abrasive sheets as soon as the grit becomes dull. You will recognize this when the sander seems to slide across the work without any “bite.” Never apply excessive force while sanding. Your sander will last longer if you let “it” do the work. Using a slight pressure barely greater than the weight of the machine is ideal because you can still maintain control while obtaining a fine finish. -4-G9907 Triangular Sander MAINTENANCE General Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G9907 Triangular Sander will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your sander each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary: 1. Loose fasteners. 2. Worn switch. 3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs. 4. Worn or damaged sanding pad. 5. Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine. Keeping Tool Clean Your G9907 Triangular Sander will give you years of trouble free service if you keep it clean and free of built-up dust or grime. Ensure that no air passages get blocked. If they do, blow them out with compressed air. WARNING: Wear safety glasses when cleaning tool with compressed air. Plastic parts can easily be cleaned with a damp cloth, but never use water to clean any electrical parts. Solvents should also be avoided on plastic because of the possiblity of damage. If possible use a scraper to remove glue or sap from your work; these elements may hinder the effectiveness of the abrasive sheets and cause unnecessary build-up of grime on the sander.
