suitable for sanding.
2.
Determines which sanding grit to use and
installs belt/disc.
3.
Adjusts table tilt and/or fence position to
desired location.
4.
Secures loose clothing, removes loose
jewelry, and ties back long hair.
5.
Puts on safety glasses, respirator and any
other required protective equipment.
6.
Starts sander and dust collector.
7.
Holds workpiece firmly against table and
miter gauge (if used), pushes workpiece into
sanding belt or along down-spin of sanding
disc, and moves workpiece back and forth
to wear sandpaper evenly and prevent
overheating.
8.
Stops sander.
