has to be sanded back to new wood use the HT8-1.2 Floor Sander
and HT7-2 Disc Floor Sander. Always try a medium grit paper first,
particularly on a diagonal cut. If 90% of the old finish is removed
and the floor is generally level, you do not need to use a coarse
grit abrasive.
Engineered and Thin Floors
Use the HTF-2 Floor Sander for engineered or thinner floors that
may have been subjected to repeated sanding. The HTF-2 will
remove old surface finishes and prepare the floor for re-finishing.
Sand the floor using the same method as a strip, plank, or parquet
floor. If the floor has deeper scratches or marks these should be
sanded out by hand and blended in with the main floor. To check
the wood depth in the floor remove a baseboard or moulding from
around the edge of the floor. This should provide access to the
edge of the floor for inspection.
Parquet & Block Floors
The grain of the wood will run in a number of directions so sand
the floor in the direction of the main source of natural light in the

room. If there is no source of natural light sand in the direction of
the longest side of the room or, if the room is square, in the direction
the furniture is laid out and how people normally use and view the
room.
This technique will help mask any imperfections in the floor.
Complete the sanding operation as detailed for plank or strip
floors.
Between Coats of Finish (varnish)
Use the HTF-2 Floor Sander to sand between coats of floor finish,
particularly when using water based varnishes. These types of
finishes tend to raise the wood grain when first applied to raw
wood. Allow each coat of varnish to dry completely following
the manufactures directions. Use Hiretech abrasive pads to sand
between each coat of varnish. The fine abrasive pads will remove
light brush/applicator marks and raised grain while maintaining
the integrity of the coat of varnish applied.
