SURFACE SANDING ON THE SANDING BELT
WARNING
: To avoid injury from slips, jams or thrown pieces, adjust
the backstop to clear the sanding surface by no more than 1/16 of
an inch. When checking clearance between the belt and work
support, press the belt flat against the metal beneath it.
Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands, keeping fingers away
from the sanding belt. Keep the end butted against the backstop
and move the work evenly across the sanding belt. Use extra
caution when sanding very thin pieces.
For sanding long pieces, remove the work support.
Apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding belt to remove
material.
END SANDING ON THE SANDING BELT
It is more convenient to sand the ends of long workpieces with
sanding belt in a vertical position.
See "Basic Operation-Positioning Belt Bed" for adjusting the belt
bed, and see " Assembly - Installing Table Assembly" for adjusting
worktable.
Move the work evenly across the sanding belt. For accuracy, use a
miter gauge.
