Please review all safety rules for sanders and all power tools before attempting operation. The hints listed below are also worth your considera- tion:
1.When using the table for beveled sanding operations, try to keep an open table angle (90˚ or more). This eliminates the risk of getting the workpiece jammed between the disc and the table.
2.The surface feet per minute of the spinning disc increases as you move from the center to the rim.

4.Choose the correct sanding grit for the job.
5.Do not use the sander as a replacement for a bandsaw or a planer. It is designed for fin- ish work, not rough dimensioning.

Whenever possible, sand with an open angle where there is plenty of clearance between the belt and the table. This will avoid getting the work- piece trapped between the sanding surface and the table.
Rotating sanding discs are dangerously abrasive. Use extreme caution when work- ing near sanding surfaces. Failure to exer- cise care while sanding could result in severe injury.
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).
