OPERATIONS
To perform sanding operations, do these
steps:
1. To sand a 90˚ angle, place the surface of
the workpiece that you wish to sand
against the face of the miter gauge (set at
90˚).
2. Slide the workpiece into the left half of
the sanding disc that is spinning downward
as shown in Figure 10.
3. Move the workpiece across the downward
spinning surface of the disc to prevent
build-up on the sanding disc and burning of
the workpiece.
4. Remove the miter gauge to sand curves
and irregular shapes.

Disc Sanding
Only use the left half of the sanding disc
when performing sanding operations. The
right half of the disc is rotating in an
upward direction and could cause the
workpiece to be propelled into the air.
Serious injury could occur.
