FOREWORD

Your Porter-Cable Finishing Sander is equipped to accept adhesive backed

abrasives (4

" width) or conventional abrasive sheets (4

" x 11").

This Sander is suitable for coarse, medium, or fine sanding of wood, plaster,

metal, and plastics. It is ideal for leveling wallboard joints, finishing cabinets,

rubbing and polishing furniture, fitting screens and doors, or for general

finishing work.

NOTE: This tool is shipped completely assembled. No assembly time or

tools are required.

SELECTING THE RIGHT ABRASIVE SHEET

When you select the proper type of abrasive, you can achieve the finest

finish on your work. In general, coarser grit sizes will remove the most

material and finer grit sizes will produce the best finishes.

You will obtain the best results if you select the proper size and type of

abrasives. Use only garnet, aluminum oxide, and silicon carbide with

finishing sanders. Flint paper is unsatisfactory for machine sanding due to its

weak structure.

Before starting to work, make sure you have the right abrasive for the

workpiece. Make sure you use the correct size abrasive paper or cloth. Cut,

do not tear, the abrasive sheets to size.

ATTACHING ADHESIVE BACKED ABRASIVES

Adhesive backed abrasives (ten

yard rolls) and a convenient

dispenser are available from your

Porter-Cable distributor.

To install adhesive backed

abrasives, cut a 9" long piece of

abrasive from roll, align abrasive

with sander pad, and press in

place (Fig. 1).

To remove the abrasive, warm the

pad for a few minutes, then lift one

corner with your fingernail and

peel off.

ATTACHING CONVENTIONAL ABRASIVES

1. Press the front clip toward the base and slip one end of the abrasive

sheet under the clamp (Fig. 2).

2. Stretch the abrasive sheet tightly over the pad (Fig. 3), and bend up over

the pad edge.

3. Press the rear clip toward the base. Slip the free end of the abrasive

sheet under the clamp (Fig. 4).
