Change sanding belt bed position
The sanding bed can be used in the horizontal or vertical positions or any angle in between. To use
in the vertical position, do the following:
1.
Loosen the bed locking screw with hex key, move the bed to the desired vertical position.
2.
Tighten the locking screw when at desired position.
Dust Port Operation
The dust port can be easily connected to a large diameter shop vacuum hose.
Sanding operations are inherently dusty. To help minimize the amount of dust that escapes into the
surrounding air, this sander is equipped with a 2-1/4" dust chute that can be easily connected to a
dust-collection system. It is strongly recommended that users employ a dust-collection system
when using this belt & disc sander.
Use of a mask or respirator is still recommended even when a dust-collection system is in use.
