Replace when necessary. • Always sand with the grain of the wood. • When sanding new layers of paint before applying another layer, use extra fine grit. • On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine grit for a smooth finish. dust COLLECTION WARNING: Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings (polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can selfignite in sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce risk, empty bag frequently and strictly follow sander manual and coating manufacturer's instructions. CAUTION: Respiratory hazard.
