SURFACING OR EDGE SANDING WITH SANDING BELT
When surfacing (see Fig. 47), or edge sanding (see Fig. 48), the sanding arm is in the horizontal position
and the backstop (A) Fig. 47 and Fig. 48, must always be used to prevent the workpiece from being
carried along the belt. Always hold the workpiece firmly, keeping your fingers away from the sanding
belt. Always keep 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.
WARNING: THE EDGE OF THE BACKSTOP MUST BE POSITIONED A MAXIMUM OF 1/16
INCH AWAY FROM THE SANDING BELT TO AVOID TRAPPING THE WORK OR FINGERS
BETWEEN THE BACKSTOP AND SANDING BELT.
