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 bed beneath it.
Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands,
keeping fingers away from the sanding belt.
Keep the end up against the backstop
and move the work evenly across the
sanding belt. Use extra caution when
sanding very thin pieces.
For sanding long pieces, remove the work support.
Apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding belt to remove
material.
End Sanding On The Sanding Belt
It is more convenient to sand the ends of long work-
pieces with sanding belt in a vertical position.
See "Basic Operation - Positioning Belt Bed" for
adjusting the belt bed, and see "Assembly -
Installing Table Assembly" for adjusting worktable.
Move the work evenly across the sanding belt. For
accuracy, use a mitre gauge.
Sanding Curved Edges
Always sand inside curves on the idler
pulley as shown.
WARNING:
Never attempt to sand
the ends of a workpiece on the idler
pulley. Applying the end of the
workpiece to the idler pulley could
cause the workpiece to fly up and
result in an injury.
