G7297 Disc Sander
Operating this equipment has the potential
to propel debris into the air which can
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass-
es or goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass-
es you wear meet the appropriate stan-
dards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
To perform sanding operations:
1. Set the angle of the table relative to the
sanding disc. The angle can be set with the
angle gauge on the disc sander or with a pro-
tractor for greater accuracy.
2. When a 90˚ horizontal angle is required,
place one surface of the workpiece firmly
against the face of the miter gauge (set at
0˚), with the other surface against the face of
the disc (Figure 8).
Note—For sanding curves or irregular shapes,
remove the miter gauge from the disc table.
Always keep the workpiece on the side of the
wheel that is rotating down toward the table. This
will keep the workpiece from flying out of your
hands from the rotational forces.
