SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
General
This section covers basic sanding operations. Please read the remaining portion of the manual before attempting any type of operation.
Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section:
Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.
Using this machine pro- duces dust which may cause allergic reactions and respiratory prob- lems. Protect yourself by wearing safety glasses and a respirator dur- ing the entire operation process. DO NOT wear gloves while operating this machine as they can be caught in the rotating surfaces and become entangled. Failure to comply with this warn- ing may result in serious personal injury.
Operating this equipment has the poten- tial to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass- es or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses only have impact resis- tant lenses — they are not safety glasses. Be sure the safety glasses you wear meet the standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Disc Sanding
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 due to the rotational forces.
To perform disc sanding operations:
1.Set the angle of the table relative to the sanding disc. The angle can be set with the angle scale on the sides of the sanding table or with a protractor for greater accuracy.
2.When a 90˚ horizontal angle is required, place one surface of the workpiece firmly against the face of the miter gauge (set at 0˚), with the other surface against the face of the disc (Figure 11).
