Surface Sanding on the Sanding Belt
When sanding at, broad surfaces on the belt sander, hold the workpiece rmly but lightly onto the
surface of the belt and against the work support (work rest), keeping ngers away from the sanding
belt. Consider using a push or hold-down stick.
Note: Use extra caution when sanding very thin pieces, and when sanding extra long pieces, remove
the work support.
Apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding belt to remove material.
Sanding Curved Pieces
When sanding inside-curves on the belt-sander, always sand on the idler drum end of the work-
support station (right side of the machine as shown in diagram).
Hold the workpiece rmly, keeping ngers away from the sanding belt. Keep the curve pressed rmly
against the idler drum, moving the work evenly back and forth across the drum.
Note: Use extra caution when sanding very thin pieces, and apply only enough pressure to allow the
sanding belt to remove the material.
