Contour Sanding
The steps below show you how to sand the
rounded contours of a basic workpiece.
To sand the contour of a workpiece, do these steps:
1. Put your safety glasses and dust mask on,
start the dust collector and your sander.
2. Adjust the auxiliary table height to the cen-
ter of the tapered idler roller and tighten the
lock knob. See Figure 53.
3. Set the workpiece on the auxiliary table.
4. Carefully sand the workpiece so the grain fol-
lows the belt direction with even pressure. See
Figure 55.
Figure 53. Auxiliary table adjusted height to

Figure 54. DO NOT sand wood with your fingers
close to the idler roller and belt.
Figure 55. ALWAYS keep your fingers away from
the idler roller and the belt.
Always wear a dust mask
and safety glasses when
operating this machine.
Sawdust may cause aller-
gic reactions or respiratory
problems.
Make sure loose clothing
and long hair is secured
and kept away from
moving parts.
Keep fingers away from
the sanding back stop
and belt. Otherwise, you
can be injured.
DO NOT sand a workpiece with the sharp cor-
ners at the leading-edge of the sanding opera-
tion. The belt can grab and propel the work-
piece causing injury.
