OPERATION

Contour Sanding

The steps below show you how to sand the rounded contours of a basic workpiece.

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 contour 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 auxiliary table height to the cen- ter of the tapered idler roller and tighten the lock knob. See Figure 53.

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.

3.Set the workpiece on the auxiliary table.

4.Carefully sand the workpiece so the grain fol- lows the belt direction with even pressure. See

Figure 55.
