Use and Care Manual

9. DO NOT TOUCH MOVING PIECES. Keep hands away

from the belt/disc during operation. If cleaning is neces-

sary, use a brush to remove sawdust and chips instead

of your hands.

10. Remove scrap pieces and other objects from the

table and sanding belt/disc before turning ON the sander.

11. FEEDING THE WORKPIECE.

• Allow the belt/disc to reach full speed before feeding

the workpiece. Do not turn on the machine while the

sanding belt/disc is contacting the workpiece.

• Always sand on the downward side of the sanding

disc when using the disc sander. Sanding on the up

ward side of the disc can cause the workpiece to ﬂy

out of position, resulting in injury.

• Always maintain a minimum clearance of 1/16 inch

(1.6 mm) or less between the table or backstop and

the sanding belt or disc.

• Firmly hold the workpiece and lightly ease it against

the sandpaper. Do not forcefully jam a workpiece into

the sanding surface.
