Consumables

The disc size is 6" and the belt is 4" by 36". If you break or wear down a belt/disk please replace it.

Allowable Materials

Wood is recommended. Soft plastics and metals can be used but will cause premature belt wear.

Sanded wood must comply with the following rules:

• No moldy or wet wood
• No treated/painted/finished wood
• All nails and staples removed

Personal Protective Equipment

• Wear Safety Goggles
• Use Hearing Protection
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow
• Tie back long hair
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask

Safe Operation

• Always sand against a sanding table – no ‘free hand’ sanding in mid-air on the

main belt surface

• Always sand pieces significantly larger than the gap between the sanding table

and the belt or disc

• Only apply enough pressure to allow the sandpaper to remove material; do not

force material into the sander

• Move objects continuously back and forth across the sanding belt or disc to

prevent burnout

• Only sand on the left side of the disc; never cross over the center of the disc
• Adjust the table angle by loosening thumb knobs or Allen wrench screws and

then moving the tables; make sure to re-tighten and secure the tables before sanding begins

Prior to each use

Hook a vacuum to dust port if sanding a substantial amount. It will make cleanup easier.

After each use

• Brush off any sawdust/leftover materials
• Sweep surrounding area
• Return sander back to its location
