How to use a RYOBI Belt Sander

Step	Action
1	Belt Sanders are very powerful tools, so it’s important to always use both hands so the sander doesn’t get away from you.
2	With your workpiece secure, turn the tool on with the Sander away from the work and slowly lower it to the surface.
3	Go slowly and avoid applying too much pressure.
4	Let the Sander’s weight do the work as you make overlapping passes.
5	Keep the Sander as flat as possible and be careful not to tip the Sander or change direction because this will only damage your workpiece.
6	Keep the Sander flat and avoid dipping the front.
7	The bag on a Belt Sander can fill up quickly, so check and empty it regularly.
8	If you want a cleaner working environment, consider using a workshop vacuum.
