OPERATIONS
General
This machine will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed
incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the
understanding that the operator has the necessary
knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties performing any
operation, stop using the machine!
The overview below provides the novice machine operator
with a basic understanding of how the machine is used
during operation, so the machine controls/components
discussed later in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to its generic nature, this overview is
NOT
intended
to be an instructional guide.

This combination sander removes surface material from the
edges, ends, and faces of wood stock using an abrasive belt
and disc. A steel platen on the sanding belt frame provides
a flat support surface for the sanding belt and workpiece.
The abrasive belt revolves around a pair of rollers, one of
which is driven by the motor. The adhesive-backed abrasive
disc is attached to an aluminum disc, which revolves in a
counterclockwise direction.
During a typical operation, the sander is turned
ON
, and
while holding the workpiece with both hands, the operator
gradually eases the workpiece into the belt or the left side
of the sanding disc.
If you are an inexperienced operator,
we strongly recommend that you read
books or trade articles, or seek training
from an experienced operator of this
type of machinery before performing
unfamiliar operations.
