desired (and table/miter gauge, if used).
For sanding on disc: Adjusts table tilt and/
or miter gauge position to desired location.
4. Secures loose clothing, removes loose jew-
elry, and ties back long hair.
5. Puts on safety glasses and respirator. Takes
all other required safety precautions.
6. Starts dust collector, then turns sander ON.
7.

or table and miter gauge (if used), pushes
workpiece into sanding belt or along down-
spin of sanding disc, and moves workpiece
back and forth to wear sandpaper evenly and
prevent overheating.
