Horizontal Sanding
Horizontal sanding allows you to sand the flat surface of a board.
To perform horizontal 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 21.
Figure 21. Horizontal sanding.
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.
Hold the workpiece firmly when the back- stop is removed to prevent the workpiece from being thrown. Keep bystanders away from the machine while in opera- tion.
5.Remove the backstop from the sander if the workpiece is longer than the sanding bed.
Curved Sanding
Inside curves can be sanded using the curved end of the sanding belt.
To perform curved sanding operations:
1.Turn the power ON and allow the sander to reach full speed.
2.Hold the workpiece against the end of the sanding belt. Move the workpiece slowly across the entire surface of the belt as shown in Figure 22.
