Section 2
Using with and adjusting Tool Rest
Using the sander with the tool rest makes for repeatable angles as well as a safer way to grind against an
object.
The standard tool rest adjust from 0 degrees (90 degrees perpendicular to the belt) down to 22 degrees (112
degrees relative to the belt.)
To adjust the tool rest, turn off the sander. Slightly loosen the lower spindle knob. Adjust tool rest to desired
angle. Re-tighten knob firmly before restarting the sander.
From the factory there is a 0.04" to 0.063" (1 – 1.5mm) gap between the belt and tool rest. This is too
discourage parts from being lodged between the tool rest and the belt. If the gap becomes too small, grinding
sparks may deflect against the tool rest. The the gap because too large, it becomes easier to get small parts
stuck between the tool rest and the belt. DeBurr-It! recommends replacing the tool rest of the gap increases
beyond 0.20" (5mm.)
ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND BREATHING PROTECTION WHEN USING ANY ABRASIVE TOOLS. ABRASIVE DUST IS
TOXIC TO YOUR HEALTH.
To operate sander, turn on unit. Using moderate pressure, push the work piece against the abrasive belt. Let
the piece rest on the tool rest, using your hands to guide the piece into and along the abrasive surface.
Applying too much pressure will overheat and possibly damage your workpiece.
