When face sanding, tilt the platen so it is hori- zontal and use the back stop to hold your work- piece. Apply even hand pressure while moving the workpiece back and forth for even belt wear.

Sanding surfaces are capable of causing serious personal injury if they come in con- tact with fingers, hands or other body parts. Use extreme care to provide a large buffer area between the sanding belt and any part of your body.
When contour sanding, adjust the auxiliary table up or down so the workpiece is roughly centered on the roller. Move the workpiece over the roller to achieve your desired profile.

Do not operate this equipment when wear- ing loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which might get caught in the moving belt or trapped between the belt and the tables. Serious personal injury may result.
