Belt Sanding
Belt sanding allows you to sand the flat surface of a workpiece.
To perform belt sanding operations:
1.Turn the power ON and allow the sander to reach full speed.
2.Place the workpiece against the surface of the sanding belt. Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands but keep fingers away from the sanding surface as shown in Figure 14.
3.Move the workpiece across the surface of the belt for even belt wear.
4.Use the back stop to prevent the workpiece from being thrown off by the rotation of the sanding belt.

Never sand the short side of any workpiece with the belt sander. This carries a high risk of kickback and serious personal injury!
