GENERAL USAGE

FIG. N

MITER GAUGE

A miter gauge is supplied with your sander, and can 

be used on the disc table, which has a slot in its 

head can be set anywhere up to 45º (right or left) by 

loosening the lock-knob, setting the miter gauge head 

to the desired angle and re-tightening the lock-knob.

FIG. N.

DUST CHUTES / PORTS

Sanding operations are inherently dusty. To help 

minimize the amount of dust that escapes into the 

surrounding air, this sander is equipped with two dust 

chutes (aka: ports) that can be easily connected to a 

dust-collection system. FIG. M. 

There is one dust chute for the belt-sanding system 

and another for the disc-sanding system. Attach your 

dust collector to the proper dust chute according to 

which sanding mode (belt or disc) is being used.

NOTE:

It is strongly recommended that users 

employ a dust-collection system when using this 

belt & disc sander. Use of a mask or respirator is still 

recommended, even when a dust-collection system 

is in use.

Never start the machine with work 

in contact with the sanding belt or disk, or damage 

to the machine, your project, or personal injury may 

result from the sudden ‘kick-back’ of the parts.
