Disc Sanding
The disc is best used for sanding end grain and convex curves.
1.Set the working table to the desired angle.
2.Always use the left half of the disc. (The half that is rotating downward.)
3.Set the miter gauge at 90° to keep the work- piece perpendicular to the sanding disc as shown in Figure 35.
4.Varying angles can be sanded by adjusting the miter gauge to the desired setting as shown in Figure 36.
5.When the table is set at an angle, the gap between the disc and the table becomes greater (Figure 37); therefore, use extra care to prevent small pieces and fingers from becoming lodged in the gap.
Only use the left half of the sanding disc when performing sanding operations. The right half of the disc is rotating in an upward direction and if used could cause the workpiece to be propelled into the air. Serious injury could occur.
Keep fingers and clothing away from the sanding disc. Failure to comply may result in serious per- sonal injury.
