END SANDING AND OUTSIDE CURVE
SANDING WITH THE DISC
Refer to Figure 17
Use for sanding the ends of small and narrow workpieces
and outside curved edges. Always work on the left side of
the disc (downward rotation side), holding the workpiece
firmly with light pressure against the sanding disc.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury and/or damage to the workpiece,
become familiar with the rotation of the sanding belt and
disc surfaces.
The sanding belt rotates counterclockwise or downward
toward the table or backstop. The sanding disc rotates
counterclockwise, downward toward the work table on the
left side of the sanding disc and upward from the work
table on the right side of the sanding disc. Always use the
left side of the sanding disc; using the right side of the
sanding disc will cause the workpiece to fly up or kickback
and could result in injury. Review this instruction manual
for correct operation, adjustments and basic sanding
operations.
