OPERATION
USING ON/OFF SWITCH WITH REMOVABLE SAFETY KEY
The On/Off switch (A) Fig.11 is used to turn the sander on and off. To turn the sander
“On”, move the switch towards the right (On position), to turn the sander “Off”, move
the switch towards the left (Off position).
This switch comes with a removable safety key (B). When the safety key is removed
from the switch and placed in a safe location, unauthorized persons or children can’t
turn the switch to the On position. It is recommended to always remove the safety key
from the switch whenever the sander is not in use. To remove the safety switch, make
sure the switch is in the Off position and simply pull out the safety key.
SURFACE SANDING ON THE SANDING BELT
WARNING
: To avoid injury from slips, jams or thrown pieces, adjust the backstop to
clear the sanding surface by no more than 1/16”. When checking clearance between
the belt and work support, press the belt flat against the metal beneath it.
Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands as shown in Fig.12, keeping fingers away
from the sanding belt. Keep the end butted against the backstop and move the work
evenly across the sanding belt. Use extra caution when sanding very thin pieces. Apply
only enough pressure to allow the sanding belt to remove material.
For sanding long pieces, remove the backstop.
BEVEL SANDING
The worktable can be tited from 0
0
to 45
0
for bevel sanding. Loosen the table lock knob
and tilt the worktable to desired angle as shown. Retighten table lock knob.
WARNING
: To avoid trapping the work or fingers between the table and sanding sur-
face, the table should be repositioned on the table support to retain a maximun of
1/16” distance between sanding surface and table.
SANDING SMALL END SURFACES ON THE SANDING DISC
Always move the workpiece across left side of center on the sanding disc face as
shown in Fig.13.
Always position the workpiece to the left of center on sanding disc with disc rotating counterclockwise. The table may be titled for beveled work.
WARNING
: Applying the workpiece to the right side of the disc could cause the workpiece to fly up (kickback), and result in an injury.
