General
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
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 due to the
rotational forces.
To perform disc sanding operations:
1. Set the angle of the table relative to the
sanding disc. The angle can be set with the
angle scale on the sides of the sanding table
or with a protractor 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 11).

3. Using light pressure, move the workpiece
slowly back and forth to the center of the disc
to prevent the workpiece from burning and
to prevent excessive loading of the sanding
disc.

way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
