SURFACING OR EDGE SANDING WITH SANDING BELT
When surfacing (Fig. 44) or edge sanding (Fig. 45), place the sanding arm in the horizontal position and use the
backstop (A) Fig. 44 and Fig. 45 to keep the workpiece in place. Hold the workpiece firmly and keep your fingers away
from the sanding belt. Place the end of the workpiece against the backstop and move the workpiece evenly across the
sanding belt. Apply only enough pressure to allow the sanding belt to remove material. Use extra caution when sanding
very thin pieces.
Position the edge of the backstop a maximum of 1/16" away from the sanding belt to avoid
trapping the workpiece or your fingers between the backstop and the sanding belt.

Fig. 47
SANDING OUTSIDE CURVES
Sand outside curves on the sanding disc as illustrated in
Fig. 47.
Always sand on the left (downward)
side of the sanding disc. Sanding on
the right (upward) side of the sanding
disc could cause the workpiece to fly
up, which could be hazardous.
The edge of the table must be
positioned a maximum of 1/16" away
from the sanding disc to avoid
trapping the workpiece or fingers
between the table and sanding disc.
