4. VERTICAL SANDING (SEE FIG.J)
1) Loosen the belt bed locking screw and raise the
belt bed to the vertical position. Retighten the belt bed
locking screw. (See Fig.F1)
2) Tighten the work support hex screw (13), and hold the
work support in position and fasten. (See Fig.C)
3) Then your machine can sand vertically. (See Fig.J)
5. SURFACE SANDING ON THE SANDING BELT (SEE FIG.K)
When checking clearance between the belt and work
support, press the belt flat against the metal beneath it.
1) Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands, keeping
fingers away from the sanding belt.
2) Keep the end butted against the backstop and move
the work evenly across the sanding belt. Use extra
caution when sanding very thin pieces.
3) When sanding long pieces, remove the work support.
4) Apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding belt
to remove any material.
6. SANDING CURVED EDGES
1) Always sand inside curves on idler drum as shown.
(See Fig.M1)
WARNING: Never attempt to sand the ends of a
workpiece on the idler drum. Applying the end
of the workpiece to the idler drum could cause the work
piece to fly up and result in an injury.
2) Always sand outside curves on the left hand side of
the sanding disc. (See Fig.M2)
WARNING: Applying the workpiece to the right
side of the disc could cause workpiece to fly up
(kickback) and result in injury.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out
any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power
tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always
store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor
ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of
dust. If you see some sparks flashing in the ventilation
slots, this is normal and will not damage your power
tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a special cord or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
