Basic Sanding Operation (continued)
Feed Direction
WARNING: To prevent thrown
workpiece, feed workpiece
against sanding sleeve from left
to right as shown.
The sanding sleeve rotates clockwise.
Feed the workpiece against the sanding
sleeve from left
to right as shown. When
fed from left to right, the rotation of the
sanding sleeve sands against the work-
piece. If fed in the opposite direction, the
rotation forces of the spinning sanding
sleeve will tend to throw or bounce the
workpiece away from the sanding sleeve.
This could cause loss of control of work-
piece or injury.
Dust Collection Capability
A standard 2-1/2" dust exhaust port has
been provided to make dustless sanding
possible. It is on the rear of your sander
as shown. The pickup adapter end of a
vacuum hose fits inside the dust exhaust
port with a wedge fit.
Even with a dust collection system, it is
necessary to periodically clean sanding
dust from the recess in the table. Sawdust
buildup in the table recess may prevent
the belt or spindle from making a com-
plete oscillation, which may cause prema-
ture wear.
Transporting Sander
When using your sander in a portable
application, it is acceptable to lift and
carry sander by the table top by the carry
handles. Be careful when transporting to
reduce the risk of dislodging accessories,
spacer ring inserts, wrench, and upper
spindle washers from their respective
storage areas.
