FAMILIARITY
WITH YOUR SANDER

THAT A CARELESS
FRAC-
TION OF A SECOND

PREPARING
FOR OPERATION
For ease of operation
your Sander has a front handle
and a rear handle.
These
handles
allow
two-hand
operation
which
aids
in maintaining
control
and
keeping
sanding
area level with
workpiece.
When
operating
your Sander
hold
the front
handle
with
your left hand and the rear handle
with your right
hand as shown in Fig. 2.
WARNING:
KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS CLEAR OF
MOVING
SANDING
BELT
AND
FRONT
IDLER
PULLEY. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN THE
SANDING
OF YOUR HANDS OR FINGERS.
See Fig.
3. WARNING:
DO NOT LET YOUR FINGERS
REST
OVER
THE
FRONT
OR
RIGHT
EDGE
OF
THE
SANDER
AS SHOWN
IN FIG. 3. IF THE SANDING
BELT WERE TO RUN OFF, OR IF IT WERE NOT PRO-
PERLY ADJUSTED,
YOUR FINGERS COULD COME
IN CONTACT
WITH THE MOVING
SANDING
BELT
RESULTING
IN
POSSIBLE
SERIOUS
INJURY.
Always
operate
your Sander in the correct
position
as shown
in Fig. 2.
Selecting
the correct
size and type sanding
belt is an
important
step
in achieving
a high quality
sanded
finish.
Standard
3 inch x 21 inch sanding
belts made
of aluminum
oxide, silicone
carbide,
and other syn-
thetic
abrasives
are best
for
power
sanding.
In
general,
coarse
grit will
remove the most
material
and finer grit will produce
best finish
in all sanding
operations.
The condition
of the surface
to be sand-
ed will determine
which grit belt will do the job. If the
surface
is rough, start with a coarse grit belt sanding
until surface
is uniform.
Medium
grit belt may then
be used to remove scratches
left by the coarser belt
and finer grit belt used for finishing
of the surface.
Always
continue
sanding
with each grit
belt
until
surface
is uniform.
