Using the Jet 708596K sander is straightforward. First, make sure the power is off. Adjust the table to your desired angle using the preset stops at 90° and 45°. If you need to change the sanding belt, use the quick - release belt tension lever. It makes the process super easy. To change the disc, just use the quick - lock dust cover. When you're ready to start sanding, turn on the machine. The powerful 3/4HP motor will handle most sanding jobs. For maintenance, regularly check the belt tracking adjustment to keep the belt on track. Also, clean the dust port at the back of the base to ensure effective dust collection. The graphite - covered steel platen runs cooler, but still, don't overwork the machine. And always remember to keep your hands clear of the moving parts while the machine is on.
