4.1 Starting and Stopping the Sander

To start the sander, press the green 'ON' button. To stop, press the red 'OFF' button. Always allow the sander to reach full speed before applying a workpiece.

4.2 Edge Sanding

For straight edge sanding, position the steel fence against the sanding belt. Adjust the fence to the desired angle. Feed the workpiece smoothly and consistently along the fence and against the sanding belt. The JET Black coated cast iron table provides a low-friction surface for smooth workpiece movement.
