Selecting Sanding/Grinding Sheets

GRINDING

The diamond paper accessory
allows for the Multi-Max to be used
for grinding away cement, plaster or

thin set. Preparing the surface for tile
replacement is a common application for this
accessory.

The diamond paper needs to be mounted to
the backing pad prior to use.

Select a low to high speed depending on the
material removal rate desired.

Corners may be finished using the tip or edge
of the selected accessory, which should
occasionally be rotated during use to distribute
the wear on the accessory and backing pad
surface.

Grind with a continuous motion and light
pressure. DO NOT apply excessive pressure -
let the tool do the work. Excessive pressure
will result in poor handling, vibration, and
premature wear on the diamond paper sheet.

For coarse-sanding, e.g. of
rough, unplanned beams and
boards

For face sanding and planing
small irregularities

For finish and fine sanding of
wood

For sanding off paint
