Belt and Disc Sander Use

• The tables can be tilted in order to sand at an angle.
  
  • See Shop Staff before making table adjustments, or refer to your tool's manual.
• Keep material flat on the table when working at an angle.
  • If you can’t do this, use a hand-held tool to shape your work.
• Move the material back and forth on the table, to avoid wearing the paper in one spot.

When working with small parts, they may become too hot to hold.

• Use locking pliers, like VISE-GRIPS to hold the parts.
• Occasionally dip the part in water to cool it off.
  • Prevent rust; dry any water left on the table.
• Never wear gloves.

Only sand on the portion of the disc that is moving down, towards the table.

• Never move the guards.
