General Sanding

Contour Sanding

For general wood sanding, position and secure table, turn the machine on, and slowly feed your workpiece into the belt or disc. For disc sanding, note the direction of the disc rotation and be sure to feed your workpiece into the disc’s downward spin. Also, be sure to keep the work table about 116" away from the belt or disc.

Remove platen and move Small Upper Idler Roller rearward so the workpiece will not be acci- dentally forced against it. Slowly feed the work- piece into the belt; the belt will follow the contour of the workpiece. See Figure 20.
