Grizzly G7297 instruction manual Operations, Disc Sanding

SECTION 7: OPERATIONS

General

This section will cover basic disc sanding opera- tions. Please read the remaining portion of the manual before attempting any type of operation.

Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section:

Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could result from failure to wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and hearing protec- tion while sanding with this machine.

Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery.

Disc Sanding

To perform sanding operations:

1.Set the angle of the table relative to the sanding disc. The angle can be set with the angle gauge on the disc sander or with a pro- tractor for greater accuracy.

2.When a 90˚ horizontal angle is required, place one surface of the workpiece firmly against the face of the miter gauge (set at 0˚), with the other surface against the face of the disc (Figure 8).

Note—For sanding curves or irregular shapes, remove the miter gauge from the disc table. Always keep the workpiece on the side of the wheel that is rotating down toward the table. This will keep the workpiece from flying out of your hands from the rotational forces.

Operating this equipment has the potential to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass- es or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass- es you wear meet the appropriate stan- dards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
