Figure 3: Arm at horizontal -- note that the table is removed. The table may be removed or left in position, and may also be set to any angle to allow horizontal sanding of various angles.
CAUTION: NEVER ADJUST THE ARM ANGLE WHILE THE SANDER IS RUNNING. ALWAYS TURN OFF THE MOTOR BEFORE ADJUSTING THE ARM ANGLE.

Adjusting the Disc Sander Table
1.Unlock the two locking knobs underneath the table at each end. (See Figure 4.)
2.Using the pointer and scale, set the angle to any re- quired angle between 20o upward and 45o downward.
3.Lock the two locking knobs underneath the table.
CAUTION: NEVER ADJUST THE TABLE ANGLE WHILE THE SANDER IS RUNNING. ALWAYS TURN THE MOTOR OFF BEFORE ADJUSTING THE TABLE ANGLE.
Use of the Miter Gauge
The miter gauge can be used on either the disc or belt surfaces to sand accurate angles on workpieces. When using the gauge, alone, you sand a single angle. However, by tilting the table and using the miter gauge in combina- tion with the table tilt, it is possible to sand compound angles, as well.
When grinding a compound angle you should al- ways check the accuracy of your setup by sanding a piece of scrap material before doing any finish sanding on the actual workpiece.
1.Set the angle you wish to sand using the scale on the miter gauge.
2.Tighten the miter gauge securely so the miter reference surface will not move while you are sanding.
3.Place the workpiece against the miter reference surface and slide it along the reference surface and into the sand- ing disc or belt. The basic method is shown in Figure 5, below.
