Hold the workpiece firmly and keep your fingers away from the sanding belt. Place 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. Position the edge of the backstop a maximum of 1/16" away from the sanding belt to avoid trapping the workpiece or your fingers between the backstop and the sanding belt. SANDING INSIDE CURVES You can sand inside curves on the top sanding drum (Fig. 46). Replace the sanding drum guard after the sanding operation is completed. SANDING OUTSIDE CURVES Sand outside curves on the sanding disc as illustrated in Fig. 47. Always sand on the left (downward) side of the sanding disc. Sanding on the right (upward) side of the sanding disc could cause the workpiece to fly up, which could be hazardous. The edge of the table must be positioned a maximum of 1/16" away from the sanding disc to avoid trapping the workpiece or fingers between the table and sanding disc.

Sanding on the right (upward) side of the sanding disc could cause the workpiece to fly up, which could be hazardous. The edge of the table must be positioned a maximum of 1/16" away from the sanding disc to avoid trapping the work or fingers between the table and the sanding disc. END SANDING WIDE WORKPIECES WITH THE BELT When sanding the ends of wide workpieces, move the table assembly to the the sanding belt and use the sanding arm in the vertical position (Fig. 49). See sections titled “CHANGING POSITION OF SANDING ARM” and“USING TABLE ASSEMBLY WITH SANDING BELT.” For more accurate work use the accessory miter gauge and move the work evenly across the sanding belt (Fig. 52). Always sand on the left (downward) side of the sanding disc. Sanding on the right (upward) side of the sanding disc could cause the workpiece to fly up, which could be hazardous. 18 MAINTENANCE KEEP MACHINE CLEAN Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air.
