NOTE: Sanding belts without directional arrows may face either direction (front or rear). If there are arrows printed on the inside of the sand- ing belt, make sure the arrows point in the direction of Wheel rotation. (Wheel rotation would be clockwise when you are looking into the open side of the Belt Sander).

Sander and unplug it from its power source.

b.Turn the Compact Belt Sander upside down, place in a vise (not included) large enough to hold it securely, then plug it into a power source and turn it “ON”.
