2.Adjusts the table tilt if necessary and locks the table in place.
3.If necessary, inserts the miter gauge in the miter slot, adjusts the miter gauge to the required sanding angle, and locks it in place.
4.Wears safety glasses and a respirator.
5.Starts the machine and dust collector.
6.Holds the workpiece firmly and flatly against both the table and miter gauge (if used), pushes the workpiece into or along the sanding disc, and moves it to different locations to wear the sandpaper evenly and prevent it from overheating.
