Do not pause in any one spot during the sanding operation. The belt will eat into the work and make the surface uneven. Lift the tool from the work before turning the motor off. Always be sure that the motor has completely stopped before putting the tool down.
DOORS AND MILL WORK When sanding doors, cabinet frames, sash, storm windows and screens, take care to avoid working into the cross grain where one member meets another. Notice that the right edge of the belt is visible on the sander. Work carefully along the edge where the rail meets the stile. If the joint is slightly uneven, use a fine abrasive and very light sanding pressure to smooth it before making finishing runs.
MAINTENANCE KEEP TOOL CLEAN Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
