ABRASIVE
DISC FINISHING
Refer to Figure 13
•
Abrasive disc sanding is well suited for finishing
small flat surfaces and convex edges
•
Move the workpiece across the down side (right) of
the abrasive disc The abrasive disc moves fastest
and removes more material at the outer edge
•
For accuracy, use the miter gauge
Figure 13 - Abrasive Disc Finishing
USING MITER GAUGE
Refer to Figure 14

The miter gauge is used only on the disc table Use
the miter gauge for securing work and holding the
proper angle while disc sanding

Adjust the angle by repositioning the miter gauge
scale and locking it into place with knob
•
Check the accuracy of the miter gauge Use a com-
bination square to adjust the miter gauge square to
the disc Loosen screw and reposition indicator if
necessary

remove any component
CLEANING
Keep machine and workshop clean Do not allow saw-
dust to accumulate on the tool Keep wheels clean Dirt
on wheels will cause poor tracking and belt slippage
Operate tool with dust collector to keep dust from accu-
mulating
WARNING:
After sanding wood or nonmetallic materi-
al, always clean area of sawdust before grinding metal
Sparks could ignite debris and cause a fire
Be certain motor is kept clean and is frequently vacu-
umed free of dust
Use soap and water to clean painted parts, rubber
parts and plastic guards
LUBRICATION
The shielded ball bearings in this sander are perma-
nently lubricated at the factory They require no further
lubrication
•
When operation seems stiff, a light coat of automo-
bile-type wax applied to the belt table and disc table
will make it easier to feed the work while finishing
•
Do not apply wax to the belt platen Belt could pick
up wax and deposit it on wheels causing belt to slip
