suitable for sanding.
2.
Inspects and installs a sanding belt/disc with
appropriate the grit for the operation.
3. For sanding on the belt: Adjusts the platen

used).
For sanding on the disc: Adjusts the table
tilt and/or the miter gauge position to the
desired location.
4. Secures any loose clothing, removes loose
jewelry, and ties back long hair.
5. Puts on some safety glasses and a respira-
tor. Takes all other required safety precau-

7. Holds the workpiece firmly against the back
stop or the table and miter gauge (if used),
pushes the workpiece into the sanding belt
or along the down-spin of sanding disc,
and moves the workpiece back and forth
to wear the sandpaper evenly and prevent
overheating.
8. Turns the sander OFF, then stops the dust
collector.
