Vertical Sanding

The steps below show you how to sand the edges and the ends of a basic workpiece, which is one of the most common sanding operations you will do.

Always wear a dust mask and safety glasses when operating this machine. Sawdust may cause aller- gicreactions or respiratory problems.

Make sure loose clothing and long hair is secured and kept away from moving parts.

Keep fingers away from the sanding back stop and belt. Otherwise, you can be injured.

To sand the edge or end of a workpiece, do these steps:

1.Put your safety glasses and dust mask on, start the dust collector and your sander.

2.Adjust the main table to the needed height and set the table tilt to the needed angle.

DO NOT sand a workpiece with the sharp cor- ners at the leading-edge of the sanding opera- tion. The belt can grab and propel the work- piece causing injury. See Figure 46.

3.Set the workpiece on the table.

4.Carefully sand the workpiece with the grain in the belt direction and use the back stop. See

Figure 47.
