BELT HORIZONTAL SANDING
CAUTION: To avoid trapping the workpiece
or fingers between the worktable and sanding
belt, the worktable edge should be positioned
a maximum of 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) from sanding
belt.
When using the sanding belt in the horizontal
position, to perform surface or edge sanding,
the belt worktable (1) must always be used.
Always hold the workpiece (2) firmly keeping
your fingers away from the sanding belt.
Always keep the end of the workpiece against
the belt worktable (1) and move the work
evenly across the sanding belt. Apply only
enough pressure to allow the sanding belt to
remove material. Use extra caution when sand-
ing very thin pieces.
SANDING INSIDE CURVES
CAUTION: To avoid injury, do not apply the
end of the workpiece to the idler drum (1). This
could cause the workpiece to fly up or cause
kickback.
With care, freehand sanding of inside curves
can be accomplished on the idler drum (1).
Never attempt to sand the ends of a workpiece
on the idler drum (1).
BELT VERTICAL SANDING
Your belt / disc sander - belt station can sand
vertically as well as horizontally. Depending on
operator needs and the workpiece, the work-
table can be used with either the horizontal or
vertical position.
To change from one position to the other:
1. Locate the 5 mm hex key.
2. Loosen the inner hex screw (1) by turning it
counterclockwise.
3. Manually move the work support station
into the vertical or horizontal position, as re-
quired.
4. Retighten the inner hex screw (1) by turning
it clockwise.
SANDING OUTSIDE CURVES
CAUTION!
• Always sand on the right (downward) side
of the sanding disc (1) as shown. Sanding on
the left (upward) side of the sanding disc could
cause the workpiece to fly up which could be
hazardous.
• The edge of the table must be positioned a
maximum of 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) from the sand-
ing disc to avoid trapping the workpiece or fin-
gers between the disc table and sanding disc.
Freehand sanding of outside curves should be
done on the sanding disc (1). Keep fingers a
minimum of 1 in. (25.4 mm) from the sanding
disc.
OPERATING DUST EXHAUST AND DUST BAG
CAUTION: Sanding operations are inher-
ently dusty. To help minimize the amount of
dust that escapes into the surrounding air, this
sander is equipped with a dust exhaust and
