In addition, it might cause the sander to jump on the work. Let the sander do the work. FINE FINISHING The action of the Porter-Cable Finishing Sander causes thousands of tiny abrasive grits to move in circular orbits against the work at high speed. Each grain moves in the same direction at a constant speed so the cutting action is uniform over the entire pad surface. Crossing and re-crossing of the abrasive grits from all directions quickly levels surface irregularities to a fine, uniform smoot

4. Sanding of lead-based paint is not recommended. Lead-based paint should only be removed by a professional. 5. Always keep the base of the sander in contact with a secure workpiece to prevent loss of control. 6. Do not operate Oscillating Sander without all guards and covers securely in place. 7. Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information available fro

If the joint is slightly uneven, use a fine abrasive and very light sanding pressure to get it smooth before making the finishing runs. For lengthy work on walls or other vertical surfaces, the sander can be counterbalanced with a length of sash cord, two small pulleys, a light wood frame and a weight the same as or slightly less than the weight of the sander. The frame consists of two pieces leaned against the wall with a third piece nailed across their top ends. The two pulleys are located so
