es or goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only

Surface Sanding
To remove a large amount of material quickly
from a large surface area, use the belt arm in its
horizontal position.
1. Turn the sander on and let it reach its full
working speed.
2. Place the workpiece flat on the belt. Be
sure to hold the work securely with both
hands. Place one hand at the end of the
workpiece to feed it against the rotation of
the belt. Place the other hand lightly on top
of the workpiece to ensure adequate stock
removal. See Figure 18.
