OPERATIONS
READ and understand this entire instruc-
tion manual before using this machine.
Serious personal injury may occur if
safety and operational information is not
understood and followed. DO NOT risk
your safety by not reading!
The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice
machine operator with a basic understanding of how the
machine is used during operation, so they can more easily
understand the controls discussed later in this manual.
Note: Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide for performing
actual machine operations. To learn more about specific
operations, seek training from people experienced
with this type of machine, and do additional research
outside of this manual by reading "how-to" books, trade
magazines, or websites.
To complete a sanding operation, the operator does the
following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is suitable
for sanding.
2. Adjusts the table tilt, if necessary, to the required
sanding angle, and locks the table in place.
3. If necessary, inserts the miter gauge in either the
X-axis or Y-axis miter slots, adjusts the miter gauge
to the required sanding angle, and locks it in place.
4. Wears safety glasses and a respirator.
5. Starts the machine and dust collector.
6. Holds the workpiece firmly and flatly against both
the table and miter, pushes the workpiece into or
along the sanding disc, and moves it to different
locations to wear the sandpaper evenly and prevent
the sandpaper from overheating.
7. Stops the machine.
