END SANDING WITH THE DISC

When sanding the ends of narrow workpieces, use the sanding disc and the accessory miter gauge (Fig. 48). Move the work from the center to the left side of the sanding disc.

Always sand on the left (downward) side of the sanding disc. Sanding on the right (upward) side of the sanding disc could cause the workpiece to fly up, which could be hazardous.

The edge of the table must be positioned a maximum of 1/16" away from the sanding disc to avoid trapping the work or fingers between the table and the sanding disc.

END SANDING WIDE WORKPIECES WITH THE BELT

When sanding the ends of wide workpieces, move the table assembly to the the sanding belt and use the sanding arm in the vertical position (Fig. 49). See sections titled “CHANGING POSITION OF SANDING ARM” and“USING TABLE

ASSEMBLY WITH SANDING BELT.”

For more accurate work use the accessory miter gauge and move the work evenly across the sanding belt (Fig. 52).

Always sand on the left (downward) side of the sanding disc. Sanding on the right (upward) side of the sanding disc could cause the workpiece to fly up, which could be hazardous.
