Disc Sanding

OPERATIONS

Always keep the workpiece on the side of the wheel that is rotating down toward the table. This will keep the workpiece from flying out of your hands from the rotational forces.

To use the sanding disc, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER!

2.Set the angle of the table and miter gauge for your operation. Make sure the table is about 1⁄16" away from the sanding disc.

3.Connect the sander to power, turn it ON, and allow it to reach full speed.

4.Position the workpiece on the work table against the miter gauge.

5.With light, but firm pressure, push the workpiece into the down-spin side of the rotating disc. See Figures 16–18for examples of disc sanding.

To reduce the risk of your fingers getting trapped between the work table and sanding disc, make sure the table is approximately 1⁄16" away from the sand- ing disc.

To prevent burning the workpiece and overloading the sanding disc, move the workpiece slowly back and forth from the left side of the sanding disc to the center.

Note: To perform sanding on compound-angle cuts, tilt the table and rotate the miter gauge to the appropriate angles.
