OPERATION
1. Select spindle that is smaller than the curve to be sanded.
2. Use an insert plate that comes closest to the spindle without touching it.
3. Make sure that spindle is properly positioned in taper sleeve socket. With the wrench
provided, tighten the nut.
Note: Never over tighten; it may be difficult to remove the spindle later.
4. When table is set at a 90° angle, sanding may be done from any corner, or location on table
around spindle.
5. When table is positioned at any angle other than 90°, it is necessary to position the work
piece over the centerline, as shown on table surface.
6. Always lock the table with the hand nut when setting at any angle, also to prevent movement
lock the tilting gear shaft.
7. Always loosen both table lock and tilting gear lock before changing the angle position of the
table. Never force the table if it does not tilt easily, reason may be that the locks are still
engaged. Never attempt to over ride the stop locks, this will cause damage to the tilting
performance.
8. A backing board is recommended when sanding thin pieces of metal or any other material. A
backing board can be easily constructed by using a piece of wood the length of the table,
pushing it into the spindle until a half circle is formed. Clamp each end of the board to the
table and proceed to sand the thin material.
9. Before leaving the machine, remove any particles or pieces left over from sanding, and
return the table to the 90° position.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper safety equipment such as eye protection
with side shields, respirator, and hearing protection.
