SURFACING OR EDGE SANDING

WITH SANDING BELT

When surfacing, Fig. 45, or edge sanding, Fig. 46, the
sanding arm is in the horizontal position and the
backstop (A) Figs. 45 and 46, must always be used to
prevent the workpiece from being carried along the belt.
Always hold the workpiece firmly, keeping your fingers
away from the sanding belt. Always 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: THE EDGE OF THE BACKSTOP MUST

BE POSITIONED A MAXIMUM OF 1/16 INCH AWAY
FROM THE SANDING BELT TO AVOID TRAPPING
THE WORK OR FINGERS BETWEEN THE BACKSTOP
AND SANDING BELT.
