G7297 Disc Sander -15-
The most efficient way to get a perfect miter is to
cut the workpiece slightly long and sand it to the
desired dimension. Miter sanding can be done
easily with the miter gauge:
To perform miter sanding operations:
1. Loosen the knob on the miter gauge and
adjust the angle to the desired point. Tighten
the knob.
2. Slide the miter gauge into its slot and use it
to hold your workpiece in position. Note—
The miter gauge can be used in either direc-
tion in the slot to achieve the proper relation
of the workpiece to the disc.
3. With light, but firm pressure, push the work-
piece slowly into the downspin side of the
rotating disc (Figure 9).

To perform angle sanding operations:
1. Loosen the handles securing the table.
2. Use the angle gauge to acheive the desired
table angle and tighten the handles. Note—
The disc table can be positioned from -15˚ to
35˚, relative to the plane of the sanding sur-
face. Whenever possible, sand with an open
angle where there is plenty of clearance
between the disc and the table. This will
avoid trapping the workpiece between the
sanding surface and the table.
