Sanding small end surfaces using the miter gauge, Fig. 15
A miter gauge is included with your tool for increased ac-
curacy. Use of a miter gauge is recommended for sanding
small end surfaces on the sanding disc.
Note: Always move the workpiece across the sanding disc
from the left side towards the right side.
Horizontal and vertical sanding, Fig. 16
Your belt/disc sander can sand both vertically and hori-
zontally. Depending on the workpiece, the work support
can be used with either the horizontal or vertical sanding
operation.
• Insert the hex key provided into the holes in the pulley
cover. Loosen the screws by turning them counterclock-
