Horizontal Sanding
When face sanding, tilt the platen so it is hori-
zontal and use the back stop to hold your work-
piece. Apply even hand pressure while moving
the workpiece back and forth for even belt wear.
When contour sanding, adjust the auxiliary table
up or down so the workpiece is roughly centered
on the roller. Move the workpiece over the roller
to achieve your desired profile.
Contour Sanding
Sanding surfaces are capable of causing
serious personal injury if they come in con-
tact with fingers, hands or other body parts.
Use extreme care to provide a large buffer
area between the sanding belt and any part
of your body.
Do not operate this equipment when wear-
ing loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets or other jewelry which might get
caught in the moving belt or trapped
between the belt and the tables. Serious
personal injury may result.
