SURFACING OR EDGE SANDING WITH SANDING BELT

When surfacing (Fig. 44) or edge sanding (Fig. 45), place the sanding arm in the horizontal position and use the table

(A)Fig. 44 and Fig. 45 to keep the workpiece in place. Hold the workpiece firmly and keep your fingers away from the sanding belt. Place the end of the workpiece against the table and move the workpiece evenly across the sanding belt. Apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding belt to remove material. Use extra caution when sanding very thin pieces.

POSITION THE EDGE OF THE TABLE (A) FIG. 44 A MAXIMUM OF 1/16" AWAY FROM THE SANDING BELT (B) TO AVOID TRAPPING THE WORKPIECE OR YOUR FINGERS BETWEEN THE TABLE AND THE SANDING BELT.

SANDING INSIDE CURVES

You can sand inside curves on the top sanding drum (Fig. 46) if you loosen the knobs (A) Fig. 46 inset and remove the guard

REPLACE THE SANDING DRUM

GUARD AFTER THE SANDING

OPERATION IS COMPLETED.

SANDING OUTSIDE CURVES

Sand outside curves on the sanding disc as illustrated in Fig. 47.

ALWAYS SAND ON THE LEFT SIDE (DOWNWARD ROTATION SIDE) OF THE SANDING DISC. SANDING ON THE RIGHT SIDE (UPWARD ROTATION SIDE) OF THE SANDING DISC COULD CAUSE THE WORKPIECE TO FLY UP, WHICH COULD BE HAZARDOUS.

THE EDGE OF THE TABLE (A) FIG. 47

MUST BE POSITIONED A MAXIMUM

OF 1/16" AWAY FROM THE SANDING

DISC (B) TO AVOID TRAPPING THE

WORKPIECE OR FINGERS BETWEEN
