SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
! | Disconnect power to the | |||
machine when perform- | ||||
ing | any | maintenance, | ||
| assembly | or | adjust- | |
| ments. Failure to do this | |||
| may | result in | serious | |
| personal injury. |

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.
Wear safety glasses dur- ing the entire operation process. Failure to com- ply may result in serious personal injury.
Always wear a dust mask when operating the Model G9984/G9985. Using this machine pro- duces sawdust which may cause allergic reac- tions or respiratory problems.
Test Run
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel. Press the START button. Make sure that your fin- ger is poised on the switch, just in case there is a problem. The machine should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be investigated and cor- rected before operating the machine further.
If you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, contact our Service Department for help.
Sanding Belts
There are many types of sanding belts to choose from. We recommend Aluminum Oxide for gener- al workshop environments. Below is a chart that groups abrasives into different classes, and shows which grits fall into each class.
Grit | Type |
|
|
Very Coarse | |
|
|
Coarse | |
|
|
Medium | |
|
|
Fine | |
|
|
Very Fine | |
|

The general rule of thumb is to sand a workpiece with progressively higher grit numbers, with no one grit increase of more than 100.
