Using The Sander

 

 

 

 

 

 

This sander is designed for use with wood and wood-based products only.  
It should not be used for sanding metal and any such use would invalidate the warranty. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sanding with the belt in the horizontal 
position

 

 
The worktable must always be used 
as a support when carrying out edge 
or face sanding in the horizontal 
position.  
 
Move the workpiece across the belt 
while keeping one edge against the 
worktable.  
 
Do not use excessive pressure and 
take extra care when sanding thin 
material. 

 

 

 

 

Sanding internal curves 

 
With care the idler drum end of the 
sanding belt can be used for 
smoothing & shaping the inside of 
curved workpieces.  
 
Never present the end of a workpiece 
to the drum as this can cause it to 
kick back.
