Selecting Sanding/Grinding Sheets
GRINDING
The diamond paper accessory
a
llows 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
o
ccasionally 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.
