INSTALL THE WORKPIECE STOP

1.

Loosen the small knob 

and move the dust 

hood towards the back 

, then re-tighten the 

knob to prevent the piece from moving.

2.

Insert the rod of the workpiece stop into the first
hole on top of the belt.

3.

Replace the dust hood in position, sliding the right 
drum guard under the head of the workpiece 
stop.

4.

Using a medium flat washer and a long lock knob,
attach the workpiece stop, as well as the right 
drum guard, to the sanding head, as show above.

OPERATING  INSTRUCTIONS 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE SANDER OR THE WORKPIECE, AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL FOR PERSONAL
INJURY, AFTER INITIAL SET-UP AS WELL AS BEFORE EACH USE, MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS SECURELY INSTALLED
AND THAT ALL FASTENERS AND MOVING PARTS ON THIS SANDER ARE LOCKED IN PLACE BEFORE STARTING THE
MACHINE.

CONNECT TO A DUST COLLECTOR

DEPENDING UPON THE TYPE OF SANDING, WHENEVER POSSIBLE, CONNECT YOUR MACHINE TO A DUST COLLEC-
TOR.

ALWAYS TURN ON THE DUST COLLECTOR BEFORE STARTING THE SANDER AND ALWAYS STOP THE SANDER BEFORE
TURNING OFF THE DUST COLLECTOR.

The workpiece stop acts as a fence to assist in main-
taining control over the workpiece making it easier
and safer to hold the workpiece flat to the belt for an
even, more uniform sanding job. It also acts as a stop-
per to prevent the workpiece from being carried away
or flung from the machine by the rotation of the sand-
ing belt.
