MACHINE USE
SURFACING OR EDGE SANDING WITH THE SANDING BELT
Always use the backstop (A) Figs. 39 and 40 when surface-sanding (Fig. 39) or when edge sanding Fig. 40. Hold the
workpiece firmly and keep your fingers away from the sanding belt. Keep the end of the workpiece against the
backstop and move the workpiece evenly across the sanding belt. Apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding
belt to remove material. Use extra caution when sanding very thin pieces.
WARNING: To avoid trapping the work or fingers between the backstop and the sanding belt, the edge of
the table should be positioned a maximum of 1/16 in. away from the sanding belt .
SANDING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CURVES
Sanding inside curves with the sanding belt is illustrated in Fig. 41.
Sanding outside curves with the sanding disc is illustrated in Fig. 42.
WARNING: Always sand on the left (downward) side of the sanding disc (Fig. 41). Sanding on the right
(upward) side of the sanding disc could cause the workpiece to fly up suddenly which could be hazardous.
WARNING: To avoid trapping the work or fingers between the backstop and the abrasive, the edge of the
table should be positioned a maximum of 1/16 in. away from the abrasive.
