SANDING OUTSIDE CURVES (FIG. Q)
CAUTION
!
•
Always sand on the right (downward) side of
the sanding disc (1) as shown. Sanding on the
left (upward) side of the sanding disc could
cause the workpiece to fly up which could be
hazardous.
•
The edge of the table must be positioned a
maximum of 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) from the sanding
disc to avoid trapping the workpiece or fingers
between the disc table and sanding disc.
Freehand sanding of outside curves should be done on
the sanding disc (1). Keep fingers a minimum of 1 in.
(25.4 mm) from the sanding disc.

OPERATING DUST EXHAUST AND DUST BAG
(FIG. R )
CAUTION
!
Sanding operations are inherently dusty. To help
minimize the amount of dust that escapes into the
surrounding air, this sander is equipped with a dust
exhaust and dust bag. It is strongly recommended that
users attach the dust exhaust and the dust bag when
using this belt/disc sander. Use of a mask or respirator
is still recommended even when a dust-collection
system is in use.
WARNING
!
FIRE HAZARD. Collected sanding dust from sanding
surface coatings (polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.)
can self-ignite in dust collector bag or elsewhere
and cause fire. To reduce risk, empty bag frequently
and strictly follow sander manual and coating
manufacturer's instructions.
