Sanding Area
When using this disc sander, it is important
to keep the workpiece firmly against the
table and ensure that sanding only occurs
in the downward rotation area of the disc, as
shown in figure 13. failure to do so increas-
es the risk of injury from loss of control by
the workpiece being grabbed or thrown.
