When bevel sanding, be sure to
1.Hold workpiece against miter gauge to keep piece square to the disc or belt.
2.Move workpiece against sanding surface width to ensure even abrasion. Use even, but firm, pressure.
3.When using the belt arm for bevel sanding, you will have greater control over your work if you tilt the belt arm and maintain the table at level. See Figure 19.

DO NOT attempt to operate this machine before completing the assembly and adjust- ment instructions. Be sure that the switch is off and the cord is disconnected from the power source at all times until assembly and adjustment are complete and you have reviewed all safety guidelines. Serious injury could occur.
The most efficient way to get a perfect miter is to cut the workpiece slightly long and sand it to the desired dimension. Miter sanding can be done on either the belt or the disc.
1.Loosen the knob on the miter gauge and adjust the angle to the desired point. Tighten the knob.
2.Slide the miter gauge into its slot and use it to hold your workpiece in position. The miter gauge can be used in either direction in the slot to achieve the proper relation of the workpiece to the disc.
3.With light, but firm pressure, push the work- piece slowly into the downspin side of the rotating disc. See Figure 20.
