• Replace the sanding sleeve with a higher grit
to achieve a finer finish. Avoid skipping grits,
as this will leave scratches in the wood.
•
Extend the life of the sanding sleeve by
regularly using a PRO-STIK
®
sanding pad
(
Accessories on Page 25).
•
When bevel sanding, make any necessary
guide lines on the longer side of the board so
they will be visible during sanding.
•
Always turn the sander
ON and allow it
to reach full speed before engaging the
workpiece with the sanding sleeve.
•
Keep your workpiece moving across the
sanding sleeve to prevent burns, grooves or
ruts in the workpiece surface.
Follow these rules when choosing stock:
•
DO NOT sand stock that contains large or
loose knots. Injury to the operator or damage
to the workpiece can occur if a knot becomes
dislodged during the sanding operation.
•
Remove foreign objects from the
workpiece. Make sure that any stock you
process with the sander is clean and free of
dirt, nails, staples, tiny rocks or any other for-
eign objects that could damage the sanding
belt or eject from the workpiece during sand-
ing.
•
Scrape all glue off the workpiece before
sanding. Glue deposits on the workpiece,
hard or soft, can gum up the sanding belt and
produce poor results.
•
Only sand the proper material type:
This machine is only intended for sanding
workpieces of natural wood fiber. Attempting
to sand workpieces of any other material
could lead to personal injury and property
damage.
The switch can be disabled by removing the key,
as shown below. Disabling the switch in this man-
ner can prevent unauthorized operation of the
machine, which is important if it is not kept inside
an access-restricted building or in a location
where children may be present.
IMPORTANT: Disabling the switch only restricts
its function. It is not a substitute for disconnecting
machine from power when adjusting or servicing.
Children or untrained people can be
seriously injured by this machine. This
risk increases with unsupervised operation.
To help prevent unsupervised operation,
always disable switch before leaving
machine unattended. Make sure to place
key in a well-hidden or secure location!
