Horizontal Sanding
1.Turn the power on and allow the sander to reach full speed.
2.Place the workpiece against the surface of the sanding belt. Make sure you have both hands securely on the workpiece and keep fingers and hands away from sanding surface as shown in Figure 32.
3.Use the back stop to prevent the workpiece from being propelled off of the sander.
4.If the workpiece is long, you may want to remove the back stop from the sander. Take care to hold the workpiece securely when the back stop is removed as shown in Figure 33.
Curved Sanding
Concave curves can be sanded on the idler roller.
1.Remove the idler roller guard from the sander.
2.Hold the workpiece against the idler roller, slowly moving the workpiece back and forth to prevent heat build up as shown in Figure 34.
3.The smallest concave curve that can be sanded is equal to the radius (13⁄4") of the idler roller.
Keep fingers and clothing away from the sanding back stop. Failure to 
comply may result in serious personal injury.
