Use work stop. Work stop is used to position and secure work
being sanded. Keep end butted against work stop and move
work evenly across abrasive belt. Use extra caution when finish-
ing very thin pieces.
Finishing long pieces: remove work stop. Apply only enough
pressure to allow abrasive belt to remove material.
• Finishing curved edges: Finish outside curves on flat portion of
abrasive belt. Finish inside curves on idler drum portion of
abrasive belt.
• Finishing end grain: It is more convenient to finish ends of long
workpieces with the abrasive belt in a vertical position.
Position table on belt side of sander. Lock into position with
socket head bolt and washer. Move work evenly across abrasive
belt. For accuracy, use miter gauge. Table may be tilted for
beveled work.
