To complete a typical sanding operation, the
operator does the following:
Examines workpiece to verify it is suitable
1.
for sanding and determines which sandpaper
grit size to use.
Verifies workpiece has necessary outfeed
2.
clearance and support. If workpiece is overly
long and difficult to handle, operator uses a
roller support stand or an assistant to assist
with feeding.
Adjusts conveyor height to approximate
3.
workpiece thickness.
Note: During initial pass with a new workpiece,
operator adjusts conveyor height as neces-
sary so workpiece only makes light contact
with sanding belt and does not overload
sander.
Puts on safety glasses, respirator, and any
4.
other required protective equipment.

5.
sander. Waits for sanding drums and con-
veyor belt to reach full speed. If equipped,
sets conveyor speed for the specific type and
finish of workpiece.
Feeds workpiece into sander by placing front
6.
end on infeed side of conveyor table and
supporting back end until workpiece engages
with pressure rollers.
Receives workpiece from outfeed side of
7.
conveyor table.

8.
amount (typically
