WITH THE BELT
When sanding the ends of wide workpieces it is more convenient to use the sanding belt with the sanding arm in the vertical position and the table assembly moved to the sanding belt, as shown in Fig. 49. See sections titled “CHANGING POSITION OF SANDING ARM” and
“USING TABLE ASSEMBLY WITH SANDING BELT”.
For more accurate work use the miter gage (supplied as standard equipment) and move the work evenly across the sanding belt, as shown in Fig. 49.
WARNING: THE EDGE OF THE TABLE MUST BE POSITIONED A MAXIMUM OF 1/16 INCH AWAY FROM THE SANDING BELT TO AVOID TRAPPING THE WORK OR FINGERS BETWEEN THE TABLE AND SANDING BELT.
END SANDING
