6. Machine operation
Warning:
Avoid kickback by sanding in
accordance with directional arrow.
Sand on downward side of disc only.
Sanding on the upward side could
cause the workpiece to fly up causing
injury!
Never sand with the sanding disc
guard not in place.
Failure to comply may cause serious
injury!
Feed the workpiece straight across the
machine table, holding your fingers
close together, guiding the workpiece
with the palm of your hands.
Don’t put your hands under the
machine table.
Always keep your hands well clear of
the moving sanding disc.
When working complex shapes, make
jigs and guides to guide the workpiece
properly and safely.
Support long workpieces with helping
roller stands.
For bevel sanding the table can be
tilted.
The centre point
(A, Fig 6) provided
with the machine can be used for
circular sanding. Adjust the radius and
tighten the set screws.
