Surface sanding on the sanding belt

WARNING: To avoid injury from slips, jams or thrown pieces, adjust the backstop to clear the sanding surface by no more than 1-2 mm.

When checking clearance between the belt and work support, press the belt flat against the metal beneath it.

1.Hold the work piece firmly with both hands, keeping fingers away from the sanding belt.

2.Keep the end butted against the backstop and move the work evenly across the sanding belt. Use extra caution when sanding very thin pieces.

3.When sanding long pieces, remove the work support.

4.Apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding belt to remove any material.

End sanding on the sanding belt

1.It is more convenient to sand the ends of long workpieces with the sanding belt in a vertical position.

2.Move the work evenly across the sanding belt. For accuracy, use the mitre gauge.

Sanding curved edges

1.Always sand inside curves on idler drum as shown.

WARNING: Never attempt to sand the ends of a workpiece on the idler drum. Applying the end of the workpiece to the idler drum could cause the work piece to fly up and result in an injury.

2.Always sand outside curves on the left hand side of the sanding disc.

WARNING: Applying the workpiece to the right side of the disc could cause workpiece to fly up (kickback) and result in injury.
