Operation
A. Position
1. Rotate alignment bar
2. For 45˚ settings line up green dots. For 90˚ setting line up red dot.
B. Sanding
1. Place back of moulding against alignment bar
2. Slide moulding against disk.
3. With one hand hold moulding firmly against alignment bar and disk. With other hand rotate disk in the direction of
the moulding or downward onto the top of the moulding (Fig. 2).
4. Rotate disk 4-6 times.
• Adjust the pressure against the disk while rotating. Start with light pressure until disk is spinning, then increase the pressure for easier sanding.
5. Check sanded surface of moulding to see if surface is smooth (Fig. 3).
6. Repeat until smooth.
C. Check Lengths It is important both sides of
moulding are same length for square frame and seamless corners.
1. Lay two moulding pieces side-by-side so miters are facing up.
2. Align the two lower edges.
3. Check to see if the upper edges are even in length
(Fig. 3).
4. If not, sand longer piece until it’s even with short
piece.
D. 90˚ Setting
1. Rotate alignment bar

Cleaning
After repeated use the sanding disk will become filled with dust. To remove the dust use a firm non-metallic brush or the cleaning bar. Hold the cleaning bar at 45 degrees and move down the length of the disk
while rotating (Fig. 5). Use light pressure. NOTE: Surface of
sandpaper may not look clean but it is. The dust sticks to the back­ing material not the raised abrasive grit.
Adjustment
To check 45˚ accuracy, hold the two sanded corners together upside down and check 90˚ using the square square, set the 45˚ square flat against the disk and up against bar (Fig. 7). Look for gaps against the bar. Adjust the bar using adjust­ment wrench until gap disappears. Test 90˚ again.

Precision SANDER
Sanding Frames with more than 4 Sides
The extra holes labeled "5", "6" & "8" on the Precision Sander refer to the quantity of frame sides they are intended for.
For example, the hole numbered 8 means that you are making an octagonal or 8-sided frame. You would need 8 pieces of moulding, each cut to the exact same length, and then sanded at the "8" mark (67° angle).
The same applies for the 6 sided frame (6 pieces of moulding cut to the same length) and sanded at the "6" mark (60°) and also the 5 sided frame (5 pieces of moulding at the same length) at 54°.
The operation of sanding remains the same for these as it is for the standard 4 sided frame.
Before attempting to make a multi-sided frame you should consider the following:
Note: You will also need an appropriate ‘strap clamp’ to hold all the pieces together while they are being glued and V-Nailed.
1. How would you cut moulding to the correct angle to create a multi-sided frame?
The Logan Pro-Saw (Model F100-2) has positive stops built-in to the Angle Pivot to simplify the cutting of multi-sided frames.
For detailed instructions on cutting moulding for frames with more than 4 sides, see separate Logan Pro-Saw (Model F100-2) operational instructions, available at http://www.logangraphic.com/manuals/english/F100-2.pdf
2. How would you V-Nail the frame together?
The Logan Studio Joiner (Model F300-1) can be used to join multi-sided frames by removing the beam, placing the strapped frame in between the posts, and replacing the beam.
Note: Care should be taken when choosing ornate or unusual shaped mouldings to create multi-sided frames. It may be difficult to stabilize the point of entry for the V-Nail.
For detailed instructions on joining frames with more than 4 sides, see separate Logan Studio Joiner (Model F300-1) operational instructions, available at http://www.logangraphic.com/manuals/english/F300-1.pdf
