END SANDING ON THE SANDING
BELT
Move the work evenly across the sanding belt. For accuracy, use
a miter gauge accessory (not included).
See Figure 19.
SANDING CURVED EDGES
Inside curves are best sanded with the sander assembled in the
spindle mode. However, inside curves larger than 1 1/2 inch may
be sanded on the drive drum
Although it is possible to lightly sand on the idler drum
of the belt sanding assembly, it is not recommended. The idler
drum is an integral part of the belt tracking mechanism. It is
spring loaded to maintain proper tension. Use of the idler drum to
sand curves may cause belt to track improperly.
See Figure 20.
FEED DIRECTION
The sanding sleeve rotates clockwise. Feed the workpiece against
the sanding sleeve from left to right as shown. When fed from
left to right, the rotation of the sanding sleeve sands against the
workpiece. If fed in the opposite direction, the rotation forces
of the spinning sanding sleeve will tend to throw or bounce the
workpiece away from the sanding sleeve. This could cause loss of
control of workpiece or injury.
See Figure 21.
