How to use

To begin using the Skil 3715CA, attach a compatible sanding sheet to the triangular base, ensuring the holes align for dust extraction if applicable. Insert a charged 20V Li-ion battery into the designated slot until it clicks into place. Hold the sander firmly by the ergonomic grip and place the sanding pad flat against the workpiece before switching the tool on. Move the sander in smooth, overlapping strokes across the surface, applying light pressure to allow the tool to perform the work. Always switch off the tool and remove the battery before changing sanding sheets or performing maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Battery and charger are not included and must be purchased separately
• The tool is designed for precision work rather than large-scale floor sanding
• Ensure you have compatible triangular sanding sheets for your specific project needs

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, always use the appropriate grit size for your material, starting with a coarser grit for initial removal and finishing with a finer grit for a smooth surface. Keep the sanding pad clean and replace worn sheets promptly to maintain efficiency and prevent surface damage.
