Timber Sanding
CAUTION: Prior to running the sander ensure you have a firm grip on the
rear handle and that the sanding belt is not in contact with the workpiece.
Apply firm even pressure when sanding. Excessive pressure can damage the
work piece and sander or cause the belt to "track off ".
1. Firmly grasp the sander in front of you and away from your body.
2. To commence sanding gently place the rear heel of
the belt sander (Fig. 10) on your workpiece. Ensure
that the sanding belt is not in contact with your
workpiece prior to starting the sander.
3. To start the sander depress the on/off switch (2).
Note:
Refer to the procedure outlined above for
correct operation of the on/off switch (2) and lock on
switch (4).
4. Let the motor build up to maximum speed. Gradually lower it onto the
workpiece with a slight forward movement. This helps to prevent gouging.
5. The correct technique is a back and forth motion, with most of the sanding
done on the backwards, pulling movement. Don't apply a lot of pressure on
the unit. Allow the sander to do the work.
6. Upon completion of the sanding operation, remove the sander from the
workpiece. Turn off the sander by depressing and then releasing the on/off
switch (2).
