X-Shop Sander Operation

The following Skil Sander Models may be used with the sander insert: Model 7313 & 7500.

! WARNING

•Turn main power off and make sure that the table saw blade is not spinning before using X-shop accessory power tools. Contact with an unattended and spinning blade can cause injury.

•Before making adjustments, make sure the sander switch is in the OFF position and the cord is unplugged.

•Lower the table saw blade below table before using the accessory power tools.

•Remove X-Shop tool inserts and reinstall blank inserts before returning to table saw operation.

Note: See page 8 for Sander Safety.

1.Keep hands and fingers away from moving belt.

2.Do not hold small pieces.

3.Plan your sanding application to utilize the center of the sanding belt. Edges of belt may damage workpiece if left in position for too long a period of time.

NOTE: The table saw rip fence may be used in combination with the sanding fence S9 for in-line sanding operations. (Fig. 77)

CREATE A FENCE FACE FOR SANDING LONG WORKPIECES WITH THE RIP FENCE (Fig. 78)

Note: Put the fence face on the side of the rip fence as appropriate for your sanding application.

1.Cut piece of suitable wood 17 inches long by 3 inches high AA.

2.The thickness of the wood AA needs to be at least 1 inch thick so the rip fence does not ride over the belt sander. Note: The bottom of the rip fence may contact moving belt and damage the rip fence if the rip fence is placed over the belt sander*.

3.Measure from the right edge of the board nearest the rip fence 3.93 inches (100 mm.) This is the location of the first through hole. Drill the second through hole 6.85 inches (174 mm) to the left of the first hole. Each hole is to be placed 5/8” from the bottom of the wood edge. Countersink the through holes.

!WARNING Maintain face no more than 1/16” above sanding belt. Any more height may cause

pinching or entrapment of fingers.
