Locking switch in OFF position
We recommend that switch be locked in OFF
position when sander is not in use. The switch can
be locked by pulling the switch locking tab out of
the switch toggle (see Figure 9). The switch will not
operate with locking tab removed. If switch toggle
is removed when sander is running, it can be
turned OFF once, but it cannot be restarted without
inserting switch tab.

Typical operations
The following are just some of the many operations
that can be performed with your JET Sander:
Sharpening a wood chisel on the sanding belt
using a block of wood. Use the block of wood to
support the chisel and provide clearance for the
chisel handle (see Figure 25).
Figure 25: Sharpening a wood chisel
Sand a bevel in the block of wood in order to
position the wood as close as possible to the
sanding belt and clamp the wood to the table, as
shown. A cold chisel can also be sharpened on the
belt table with the table tilted.
Sanding aluminum on the disc unit with the table
tilted and using the miter gauge as a guide (see
Figure 26).
NOTE:
Always sand on the left (downward) side of
the sanding disc, as shown. Sanding on the right
(upward) side of the sanding disc could cause the
workpiece to fly up which could be hazardous.
