OPERATIONS
Miter Sanding
An effective way of making a perfect miter is to cut the workpiece slightly long and sand it to the desired angle.
To perform miter sanding operations, do these steps:
1.Loosen the knob on the miter gauge, adjust the miter gauge body to the desired angle and tighten the knob.
2.Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge.
3.Slide the workpiece along the face of the miter gauge into the left side of the sanding disc as shown in Figure 11.

Angle Sanding
To perform angle sanding operations, do these steps:
1.Loosen the handles securing the table, use the angle gauge to set the angle, and tighten the table lock handles.
2.Slide the miter gauge into its slot and use it to hold your workpiece in position.
3.With light, but firm pressure, push the workpiece slowly into the downspin side of the sanding disc (Figure 12).
