SECTION 4: OPERATIONS

Operation Overview

The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov- ice machine operator with a basic understanding of how the machine is used during operation, so the machine controls/components discussed later in this manual are easier to understand.

Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn more about specific operations, read this entire manual and seek additional training from expe- rienced machine operators, and do additional research outside of this manual by reading "how- to" books, trade magazines, or websites.

To reduce the risk of serious injury when using this machine, read and understand this entire manual before operating.

Damage to your eyes and lungs could result from using this machine without proper pro- tective gear. Always wear safety glasses and a respirator when operating this machine.

To complete a typical sanding operation, the operator does the following:

1.Examines the workpiece to make sure it is suitable for sanding.

2.Adjusts the table tilt if necessary and locks the table in place.

3.If necessary, inserts the miter gauge in either the X-axis or Y-axis miter slots, adjusts the miter gauge to the required sanding angle, and locks it in place.

4.Wears safety glasses and a respirator.

5.Starts the machine and dust collector.

6.Holds the workpiece firmly and flatly against both the table and miter gauge (if used), pushes the workpiece into or along the sand- ing disc, and moves it to different locations to wear the sandpaper evenly and prevent it from overheating.

7.Stops the machine.
