SURFACING OR EDGE SANDING

WITH SANDING BELT

When surfacing, Fig. 45, or edge sanding, Fig. 46, the sanding arm is in the horizontal position and the backstop (A) Figs. 45 and 46, must always be used to prevent the workpiece from being carried along the belt. Always hold the workpiece firmly, keeping your fingers away from the sanding belt. Always keep the end of the workpiece against the backstop 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.

WARNING: THE EDGE OF THE BACKSTOP MUST BE POSITIONED A MAXIMUM OF 1/16 INCH AWAY FROM THE SANDING BELT TO AVOID TRAPPING THE WORK OR FINGERS BETWEEN THE BACKSTOP AND SANDING BELT.
