ADJUSTMENTS & OPERATION
INSTALLING & ADJUSTING WORK STOP continued...
3. Assemble the work stop (A) Fig.17 and the work stop support (B) using the large
nut (C) as shown, make sure the thin part of the work stop is closest to the
sanding belt.
4. Position the work stop support onto the threaded stud (D).
5. Reinstall washer and loosely tighten spring loaded handle (E).
6. Adjust the position of the work stop, make sure it clears the sanding belt (approx.
2-3mm clearance), then tighten spring loaded handle.
ADJUSTING SANDING BELT FROM VERTICAL TO HORIZONTAL POSITION
To change the sanding belt from vertical to horizontal position:
1. Loosen hex. nut (A) Fig.18, then loosen set screw (B).
2. Lower the sanding belt down to the horizontal position.
3. Retighten set screw (B) and then retighten hex. nut (A).
OPERATION
DISC SANDING
Warning!
Always make sure the sander is unplugged prior to attempting any installation or changing of parts and accessories.
When sanding, always position your workpiece on the downward, rotating side (left side) of the sanding disc. Sanding on the right side of the
sanding disc, upward rotating side is dangerous, as your workpiece cannot be controlled and ‘kick-back’ may occur - the wood being forced up
and out of your hands.
Use the miter gauge for added control of the workpiece during sanding. The miter gauge can also be set to various degree angles for
maintaining accurate angles when sanding small or multiple parts.
Do not force the workpiece into the sanding disc. Sand using light pressure, move your workpiece slightly left and right on the disc, keeping to
the left-of-center, downward side. This will help prevent resin or debris from building up on one area of the disc, and also helps to prevent
burning of the sanded surface from excessive abrasive-action heat build-up.
BELT SANDING
Warning!
Always make sure the sander is unplugged prior to attempting any installation or changing of parts and accessories.
Depending on what type of sanding that you will be doing, set the sanding belt table to the proper angle using a square or a protractor.
Use the miter gauge when convenient for added control of the workpiece during sanding. The miter gauge can also be set to various degree
angles for maintaining accurate angles when sanding small or multiple parts.
Do not force the workpiece into the sanding belt . Sand using light pressure. Move your workpiece slightly left and right on the belt. This will
help prevent resin or debris from building up on one area of the belt, and also helps to prevent burning of the sanded surface from excessive
abrasive-action heat build-up.
