G7297 Disc Sander

Operating this equipment has the potential

to propel debris into the air which can

cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass-

es or goggles when operating equipment.

Everyday glasses or reading glasses only

have impact resistant lenses, they are not

safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass-

es you wear meet the appropriate stan-

dards of the American National Standards

Institute (ANSI).

To perform sanding operations:

1. Set the angle of the table relative to the

sanding disc. The angle can be set with the

angle gauge on the disc sander or with a pro-

tractor for greater accuracy.

2. When a 90˚ horizontal angle is required,

place one surface of the workpiece firmly

against the face of the miter gauge (set at

0˚), with the other surface against the face of

the disc (Figure 8).

Note—For sanding curves or irregular shapes,

remove the miter gauge from the disc table.

Always keep the workpiece on the side of the

wheel that is rotating down toward the table. This

will keep the workpiece from flying out of your

hands from the rotational forces.
