SURFACE SANDING ON THE BELT
When sanding flat broad surfaces on the belt hold the workpiece firmly on the
surface of the belt and against the backstop, keeping fingers away from the
sanding belt. Consider using a push or hold-down stick.
Use extra caution when sanding very thin pieces, and when sanding extra long
pieces, remove the backstop.
NOTE: When using the sander without the backstop, ensure that you you have
a firm hold on the workpiece at all times and take extra care.
Apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding belt to remove material.
SANDING CURVED PIECES
When sanding inside-curves on the belt sander, always sand on the idler drum
end of the belt.
Hold the workpiece firmly, keeping fingers away from the sanding belt. Keep
the curve pressed firmly against the idler drum, moving the work evenly back
and forth across the drum.
SANDING DISC
SANDING OUTSIDE CURVES
Always sand outside curves using the sanding disc and moving the
workpiece from the left side of centre, as shown. Keep the curve pressed firmly
against the sanding disc, moving the work evenly from the left side of the
sanding disc. Be sure to hold the workpiece firmly against the surface of the
table.
MITRE GAUGE - DISC SANDER
A mitre gauge can be used on the work table, as shown. The mitre gauge head
can be set anywhere up to 60° (right or left) by loosening the locking knob,
setting the mitre gauge head to the desired angle, and tightening the locking
knob.
SANDING SMALL SURFACES USING THE MITRE GAUGE
Use of the mitre gauge is recommended for sanding small end surfaces on the
sanding disc.
NOTE: Always move the workpiece across the left side (dust chute end of
machine) of the sanding disc and be sure to hold the workpiece down tightly
onto the table surface.
