SURFACE SANDING ON THE BELT
Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands. Keep fingers away from sanding belt. Keep the workpiece flat
against the belt table and move it slowly across the sanding belt. Apply enough pressure to remove mate-
rial; excessive pressure will reduce sanding efficiency.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Use extra caution when sanding very thin pieces, and apply only enough pressure
to allow the sanding belt to remove the material.
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury and/or damage to the workpiece, become familiar with
the rotation of the belt and disc sanding surfaces.
END SANDING AND OUTSIDE CURVE SANDING ON THE DISC
Use for 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.
The disc sander rotates counterclockwise, downward toward the table on the left side of the disc and up-
ward from the table on the right side of the disc. Always use the left side of the disc; using the right side of
the disc could cause the workpiece to fly up or kickback and could result in injury.
MITER GAUGE - DISC SANDER
A miter gauge is supplied with your sander, and can be used on the disc table. The miter gauge head can
be set anywhere up to 45° (right or left) by loosening the locking knob, setting the miter gauge head to the
desired angle, and retightening the locking knob.
Use of the miter gauge is recommended for sanding small end surfaces on the sanding disc.
Note: Always move the workpiece across the sanding disc from the center of the disc to the left side, and
be sure to hold the workpiece down tightly onto the table surface.
