OPERATION
FIG. 32
MITER GAUGE
The Miter Gauge (#110) can be used on the disc table, which has a slot
to t the miter gauge’s bar. The miter gauge head can be set anywhere
up to 45º (right or left) by loosening the lock-knob, setting the miter gauge
head to the desired angle, and retightening the lock-knob. FIG. 32.
BELT SANDING
Always ensure the sander is unplugged prior to at-
tempting any assembly, installation or changing of
parts and accessories.
Position the sanding belt bed horizontally or vertically
as needed for your sanding needs. See page 12.
Once the correct sanding angle, and all fasteners are
secure, the sander can be plugged in for operation.
Warning: To avoid injury from slips, jams or thrown
pieces, adjust the sanding belt fence (#56) to clear the
sanding surface by no more than 1/16th of and inch.
1. Hold the work piece rmly, keeping ngers away
from the sanding belt.
2. Keep the work piece against the backstop and
move it evenly across the sanding belt. Use extra
caution when sanding very thin pieces. FIG. 33 & 34.
3. For sanding long pieces, remove the fence.
4. Do not force the work piece into the sanding belt.
Sand using light pressure, letting the sanding
abrasives time to do their work!
5. Move your work piece slightly left and right on
the belt. This will help prevent resin or debris from
building up on one area of the belt, and also helps to
prevent burning of the sanded surface from
excessive abrasive-action heat build-up.

SANDING CURVED EDGES
Sanding inside curves on your work piece and be
done on the idler drum as shown. FIG. 35.
Always sand outside curves on your work piece with
the sanding belt in vertical position, using the belt’s
fence for support. FIG. 34. Or sand your work on the
left side of center on the sanding disc. FIG. 30 & 31.
Never attempt to sand the ends of
a work piece on the idler drum, as this could cause
the work piece to y up and result in an injury. Use the
end of the idler drum for freehand sanding on long,
side grain work pieces as shown in FIG 35.
