the sanding belt. Hold the workpiece firmly
with both hands but keep fingers away from
the sanding surface as shown in Figure 21.

Inside curves can be sanded using the curved
end of the sanding belt.
To perform curved sanding operations:

across the entire surface of the belt as

stop is removed to prevent the workpiece
from being thrown. Keep bystanders
away from the machine while in opera-
tion.
3. Move the workpiece across the surface of
the belt for even belt wear.

from being thrown off by the rotation of the
sanding belt.
