Surface sanding on sanding belt
Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands. Keep fingers
away from sanding belt. Keep the workpiece end against
the backstop and move it slowly across the sanding belt.
Apply enough pressure to remove material; excessive
pressure will reduce sanding efficiency.
Sanding inside curves
When sanding inside-curves on the belt-sander, always sand
on the idler drum end of the work support station (right side of
the machine as shown in diagram).
Hold the workpiece firmly, keeping fingers away from the
sanding belt. Keep the curve pressed firmly against the idler
drum, moving the work evenly back and forth across the drum.
Note:
Use extra caution when sanding very thin pieces, and
apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding belt to
remove the material.
