Face Sanding
Moving sanding belt can cause serious
personal injury if it comes in contact with
fingers, hands, or other body parts. Make sure
workpiece is always supported. Use extreme
care to provide a safe distance between belt
and any part of your body.
Adjust the platen to the horizontal position for
face sanding, and always use the miter gauge,
fence, or backstop to support the workpiece
whenever possible. Face sanding operations are
performed right on the sanding belt against the
platen.
To face sand:
1.
Connect machine to power, turn it ON, and
allow it to reach full speed.
2.
Support workpiece against miter gauge,
fence, or backstop and slowly feed workpiece
into moving belt with light, even pressure.
Maintain control of workpiece, as shown in
Figure 52. DO NOT force workpiece against
belt.
