The disc sander allows you to sand outside corners and flat surfaces using an abrasive disc. The belt can perform inside corner and flat surface sanding. The table angles can be adjusted to change the angle of cuts. The sanding table can be set between 15 and 45 degrees. The belt arm can be adjusted between 0 and 90 degrees.  It is important to inspect the sanding disc and belt for wear before use. If you notice any holes or cuts in a belt let the supervisor know before trying to power the machine.  Tears can be caused by leaving material in the same spot too long. Try to keep work moving across the belt/disc to prevent damage. The disc normally won't tear but it will turn dark and have burn marks.

Operation

The disc sander allows you to sand outside corners and flat surfaces using an abrasive disc. The belt can perform inside corner and flat surface sanding. The table angles can be adjusted to change the angle of cuts. The sanding table can be set between 15 and 45 degrees. The belt arm can be adjusted between 0 and 90 degrees with the arm locking handle. It is important to inspect the sanding disc and belt for wear before use. If you notice any holes or cuts in a belt let the supervisor know before trying to power the machine. Tears can be caused by leaving material in the same spot too long. Try to keep work moving across the belt/disc to prevent damage. The disc normally won't tear but it will turn dark and have burn marks.

Demonstration

You will need to demonstrate the safe setup and use of the belt/disc sander. You will be sketching an arc onto a piece of scrap material and sanding up to the line using the disc and belt. Make sure to keep the material moving to prevent burning and tearing of the sanding belt/disc.

General Procedure

1. Obtain a piece of scrap wood. If the work piece is too small it will be difficult to hold onto and create a dangerous situation by placing your fingers too close to the belt/disc.

2. Using a pencil or pen sketch a radius or line onto the edge of your material.

3. Make sure the belt and disc are in good shape and secure.

4. Connect the dust collector hose to the sander.

5. Power on the dust collector and sander.

6. Place the material onto the table and slowly feed your material into the belt/disc using both hands for a rigid grip. Make sure your hands/fingers are clear of any moving parts.

7. Keep the material moving to prevent too much heat in one spot.

8. Keep sanding until you cut the material back to your line.

9. When you are finished sanding power down the dust collector and sander.

10. Make sure all motion has stopped before cleaning the machine.

11. Reset the space.
