25.1. Safety Precautions
a. DO NOT use sander on metal products.
b. MAKE SURE the sanding belt is tracking correctly.
c. MAKE SURE the sanding belt is not torn or loose.
d. ALWAYS HOLD work firmly when sanding.
e. NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON” with the
workpiece contacting the abrasive surface. Kickback
can occur.
f. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS. A sudden slip could cause a hand to
move into the abrasive disc or belt.
g. DO NOT SAND very small or very thin workpieces that cannot be safely controlled. Loss of
control of the workpiece can result in injury.
h. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORKPIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece is
dangerous.
i. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR SET-UP WORK on the table/work area when the
machine is running. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the abrasive surface. Severe
injury can result.
25.2. Setup & Use – Edge Sander
The sander has two adjustments the user can make:
• Raise/lower the workpiece support table to use a different part of the belt as it wears on one
area.
o There are two knobs under the support table which you loosen, being sure to support
the table with one hand, adjust the table, and then retighten the two knobs.
• Tilt the entire belt assembly from its nominal 90 degree configuration to 0 degrees or horizontal
position.
o When facing the machine, below the belt level and on the right hand side is a single
knob and a scale marked from 0 to 90 degrees. Securely hold the belt mechanism while
loosening the knob, adjust to the desired angle and retighten the knob.
o Please return the machine to the upright 90 degree position when finished sanding.
