Bevel Sanding
The work table can be tilted from 0 to 45 degrees for
bevel sanding. Loosen the table lock knob and tilt the
worktable to desired angle as shown. (See Fig. 12)
Retighten table lock knob.
Warning: To avoid jamming the workpiece or fingers
between the table and sanding surface, the table
should repositioned on the table support to retain a
maximum of 1/16” distance between sanding surface
and table.
Positioning the Belt Bed
A bed locking hex socket head screw locks the belt
bed in a vertical or horizontal position.
To adjust vertical position:
1. Remove the work support.
2. Loosen the hex socket head locking screw using a
1/4 inch hex wrench.
(See Fig. 13)
3. Position the belt bed vertically as shown and tighten
the hex socket head locking screw.
Surface Sanding on the Sanding Belt
Warning: To avoid injury from slips, jams or thrown
pieces, adjust the backstop to clear the sanding
surface by no more than 1/16th of and inch. When
checking clearance between the belt and work sup-
port, use a 1/16” drill bit as a spacer gauge.
(See Fig. 14)
1. Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands, keeping
fingers away from the sanding belt.
2. Keep the end butted against the backstop and
move the work evenly across the sanding belt. Use
extra caution when sanding very thin pieces.
(See Fig.
15)
3. For sanding long pieces, remove the work support.
4. Apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding
belt to remove material.
