If you must feed workpiece into sanding belt
corner first, feed trailing corner first. Feeding
leading corner first could cause sanding belt
to grab workpiece and jerk it out of your
hands.
Edge & End Sanding
Proper use of the oscillating edge sander will
yield excellent sanding results due to the
oscillating movement. Always use the miter stop
to support the workpiece whenever possible.
Edge and end sanding operations are performed
on the main table against the platen.
To edge or end sand:
1.
Connect machine to power, turn it ON, and
allow it to reach full speed.
2.
Raise main table to desired height and
adjust table tilt to desired setting (refer to
Adjusting Main Table on Page 27).
3.
Support workpiece against miter stop and
slowly feed workpiece into moving belt with
light, even pressure. Maintain control of
workpiece, as shown in Figures 47–48. DO
NOT force workpiece against belt.

Moving sanding belt can cause serious

fingers, hands, or other body parts. Make sure
workpiece is always supported against table.
Use extreme care to provide a safe distance
between belt and any part of your body.
