Horizontal Sanding
1. Turn the power on and allow the sander to
reach full speed.
2. Place the workpiece against the surface of
the sanding belt. Make sure you have both
hands securely on the workpiece and keep
fingers and hands away from sanding surface
as shown in Figure 32.
3. Use the back stop to prevent the workpiece
from being propelled off of the sander.
4. If the workpiece is long, you may want to
remove the back stop from the sander. Take
care to hold the workpiece securely when the
back stop is removed as shown in Figure 33.
Curved Sanding
Concave curves can be sanded on the idler
roller.
1. Remove the idler roller guard from the
sander.
2. Hold the workpiece against the idler roller,
slowly moving the workpiece back and forth
to prevent heat build up as shown in Figure
34.
3. The smallest concave curve that can be
sanded is equal to the radius (1 3 ⁄
4
") of the
idler roller.
