A slight amount of pressure (just to control the tool) is usually sufficient to ensure satisfactory results. Any excess will reduce its efficiency. In order tp obtain an optimum finish, it is essential to progressively reduce the grain size of the paper being used. With each change in grain size, it is recommended to sand at right angles in relation to the previous sanding. In order to obtain a perfect finish, after using a very fine-grained paper, we recommend wiping the work surface with a slightly damp rag and sanding again with the finest paper possible. For greatest efficiency and speed when spnding^paper should be replaced if torn or if dust accumulates (packs) on the abrasive surface. TOOL CARE ‘ j\ Keep your machine as clean as possible qy wiping with a clean cloth and occasionally blowing through with air. ' j I Avoid overloading your sander. Overloading will result in a considerable reduction in speed and efficiency and the unit wilt become hot. In this event, run sander at a “no load" condition for a minute or two. This may be accomplished by holding unit away from work surface and allowing it to run “free speed,” ACCESSORIES The accessories listed in this manual are available at extra cost from your local dealer,' Black & Decker Service Center, or by writing to: Customer Services.
