OPERATION
ON / OFF SWITCH
The keyed switch is intended to prevent unauthorized use of the
sander.
WARNING! Remove the safety key whenever the sander
is not in use. Place the key in a safe place and out of the
reach of children.
1. To turn sander ON, insert the safety key (Fig. 13 - 1) into the
key slot (Fig. 13 - 2) in the center of the switch.
2. Push key firmly into the slot, then push switch to the ON posi-
tion to start the sander.
3. To turn the sander OFF push switch to the OFF position.
4. Remove the safety key when the sander has come to a com-
plete stop by gently pulling it forward and out.
SURFACE SANDING ON SANDING BELT
Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands. Keep fingers away
from sanding belt. Keep the workpiece end against the backstop
and move it slowly across the sanding belt. Apply enough pres-
sure to remove material; excessive pressure will reduce sanding
efficiency and may stall the motor (Fig. 14).
SANDING INSIDE CURVES
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 firmly, keep-
ing fingers away from the sanding belt. Keep the curve pressed
firmly against the idler drum, moving the work evenly back and
forth across the drum (Fig. 15).
NOTE: Use extra caution when sanding very thin pieces, and
apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding belt to remove
the material.
END SANDING & OUTSIDE CURVE SANDING
Use the sanding disc sanding the ends of small and narrow
workpieces and outside curved edges. Always work on the left
side of the disc (downward rotation side), holding the workpiece
firmly with light pressure against the sanding disc (Fig. 16).
