MACHINE USE

SURFACING OR EDGE SANDING WITH THE SANDING BELT

Always use the backstop (A) Figs. 39 and 40 when surface-sanding (Fig. 39) or when edge sanding Fig. 40. Hold the workpiece firmly and keep your fingers away from the sanding belt. 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.
