ABRASIVE
BELT SANDING
• Finishing flat surfaces: Hold workpiece firmly with both
hands; keep fingers away from abrasive belt.
Use table to position and secure work being sanded. Keep
end butted against table and move work evenly across
abrasive belt.
• Finishing long pieces: Use belt in horizontal position with
work stop. Apply only enough pressure to allow abrasive
belt to remove material
Use work stop to position and secure work being sanded.
Keep end butted against work stop and move work evenly
across abrasive belt. Use extra caution when finishing very
thin pieces.
• Finishing curved edges: Finish outside curves on flat por-
tion of abrasive belt. Finish inside curves on idler drum por-
tion of abrasive belt.
• Finishing end grain: It is more convenient to finish ends of
long workpieces with the abrasive belt in a vertical position.
Positiontable on belt side of sander. Move work evenly
across abrasive belt. For accuracy, use miter gauge. Table
may be tilted for beveled work.
ABRASIVE
DISC SANDING
• Abrasive disc sanding is well suited for finishing small flat
surfaces and convex edges.
• Move workpiece across down side (left) of abrasive disc.
Hold workpiece firmly with both hands; keep fingers away
from abrasive disc.
• Abrasive disc moves fastest and removes more material at
outer edge.
• For accuracy, use miter gauge.
USING MITER GAUGE
Refer to Figures 15, 16 and 17.
• Use the miter gauge for securing the work and holding the
proper angle while sanding.
• Before using gauge, check that the table slot is parallel to
belt (disc).
• Use a combination square to check distance from slot to
belt (disc) on each side of table.
Figure 15 - Checking Parallelism of Table Slot to Belt
• If table needs adjustment, loosen the three bolts beneath
table, move table and secure in position.
Figure 16 - Table Adjustment
• Use a combination square to adjust miter gauge square to
belt (disc). Pointer should be at zero. Loosen screw and
reposition Pointer if necessary.
Figure 17 - Setting Miter Gauge Square
• After setting table and miter gauge square to belt (disc),
adjust to desired angle by repositioning the miter gauge
scale and locking it into place with knob.
