Grizzly H7760 owner manual Sanding a workpiece

Sanding

The 2" sanding belt on the Model H7760 works great for non-ferrous metals and wood products. A wide variety of belts are also available for many types of materials and stages of finishing.

The sanding belt will remove large amounts of material quickly, including your skin. DO NOT touch the sanding belt and always position your hands so they will not slip into the belt or get caught in the belt.

To sand a workpiece:

1.Before starting the machine, adjust the angle of the tool rest so your workpiece can be properly supported and the area you wish to sand will be parallel with the sanding belt as illustrated in Figure 13.

Figure 13. Examples of tool rest angles.

2.With the machine plugged into power, stand to the side of the grinding wheel, and move the red switch to the ON position.

3.Allow the machine to run for at least 1 full minute to make sure that the grinding wheel is not going to fly apart and injure you, then move to the front of the machine.

4.Grasp the workpiece tightly and properly sup- port it on the tool rest.

5.Press the workpiece evenly against the sand- ing belt with light pressure (see Figures 14 and 15). DO NOT press hard—let the rota- tion of the belt do the work

6.Remove your workpiece regularly to check the progress the sander has made. Remember— you can always remove more material but you cannot add it!

7.When you are finished sanding, move the red switch to the OFF position. DO NOT con- tinue sanding and DO NOT manually stop the sanding belt with your workpiece!
