SANDING TIPS
When sanding a flat surface, firmly hold the
work-piece with both hands, keeping your
fingers away from the sanding belt.
External curves must be sanded on the flat
portion of the sanding belt. Internal curves
must be sanded on the roller portion of the
sanding belt.
Make sure to move the work-piece equally
along the sanding belt and use the miter
gauge for precise work.
To sand a perfectly straight edge, make
sure the belt table is perfectly square with
the sanding belt.
The sanding disc turns much faster and
removes more of the external edge. When
sanding small flat surfaces or convex
edges, disc sanding is the best way to
achieve good results.
HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL
SANDING
The belt sander can be positioned vertically
or horizontally and it can also be positioned
at any angle in between, depending on your
sanding needs.
To adjust the sanding belt vertically /
horizontally:
Make sure the switch is in the OFF position
and the cord is disconnected from the
power source.
Loosen the two lock nuts shown in figure-16
and slowly lift / lower the belt sander to the
desired angle.
