manual abstract
Set the angle of the table relative to the sanding disc. The angle can be set with the angle scale on the disc sander or with a protractor for greater accuracy. 2. When a 90. horizontal angle is required, place one surface of the workpiece firmly against the face of the miter gauge (set at 0.), with the other surface against the face of the disc (Figure 17). Figure 17. Disc sanding. 3. Use light pressure and move the workpiece slowly back and forth across the disc to prevent the workpiece from burning and to prevent excessive loading of the sanding disc. Note—For sanding curves or irregular shapes, remove the miter gauge from the disc table. Miter Sanding The most efficient way to get a perfect miter is to cut the workpiece slightly long and sand it to the desired dimension. Miter sanding can be done easily with the miter gauge: To perform miter sanding operations: 1. Loosen the knob on the miter gauge, adjust the angle to the desired point, and tighten the knob. 2. Slide the miter gauge into its slot and use it to hold your workpiece in position. Note— The miter gauge can be used in either direction in the slot to achieve the proper relation of the workpiece to the disc. 3. Use light pressure and move the workpiece slowly back and forth across the disc as shown in Figure 18. Figure 18. Disc sanding with a miter gauge. Never use the Model G0547 for applications other than those for which it was made. DO NOT overload the machine or use excess force when sanding. Severe personal injury, damage to the machine, or damage to your workpiece could occur. G0547 Combo Sander -19 Angle Sanding Miters can also be sanded by changing the angle of the table. Always keep the workpiece on the side of the wheel that is rotating down toward the table. This will keep the workpiece from flying out of your hands from the rotational forces. To perform angle sanding operations: 1. Loosen the knob securing the table. 2. Use the angle gauge to acheive the desired table angle and tighten the handles. Note— The disc table can be positioned from 0. to 45., relative to the plane of the sanding surface. 3. Slide the miter gauge into the miter slot and use the miter gauge to hold your workpiece in position. 4. With light, but firm pressure, push the work- piece slowly into the downspin side of the rotating disc (Figure 19). Figure 19. Mitering with the table angled. 5.Move the workpiece slowly back and forth across the downspin side of the disc. Installing Table on Sanding Belt The disc sanding table can be removed and installed on the sanding belt bed when the sanding belt bed is vertical. This gives the operator more working room when using the sanding belt. To install the table on the sanding belt bed: 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source! 2. Raise the belt bed to vertical and remove the back stop. 3. Remove the disc sanding table. 4. Place the index pin of the disc sanding table in the upper hole in the sanding belt table. 5. Rotate the sanding table perpendicular to the sanding belt and screw in the knob as shown in Figure 20. ! Figure 20. Installing the table for belt sanding. -20- G0547 Combo Sander Horizontal Sanding Curved Sanding Horizontal sanding allows you to sand the flat surface of a board. To perform horizontal sanding operations: 1. Turn the power ON and allow the sander to reach full speed. 2. Place the workpiece against the surface of the sanding belt. Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands but keep fingers away from the sanding surface as shown in Figure 21. Figure 21. Horizontal sanding. 3. Move the workpiece across the surface of the belt for even belt wear. 4. Use the back stop to prevent the workpiece from being thrown off by the rotation of the sanding belt. Hold the workpiece firmly when the backstop is removed to prevent the workpiece from being thrown. Keep bystanders away from the machine while in operation. 5. Remove the backstop from the sander if the workpiece is longer than the sanding bed. Inside curves can be sanded using the curved end of the sanding belt. To perform curved sanding operations: 1. Turn the power ON and allow the sander to reach full speed. 2. Hold the workpiece against the end of the sanding belt. Move the workpiece slowly across the entire surface of the belt as shown in Figure 22. Figure 22. Sanding an inside curve.
