Changing abrasive discs (continued)

Align the keyway in the disc hub with the key on the motor shaft (see Figure 22). Install the disc plate on the shaft. Position the disc so the face of the disc is even with the edge of the upper disc guard. Tighten the setscrew in the hub of the disc plate.

If necessary, adjust the position of the upper disc guard. Loosen the screws and adjust the position of the upper disc guard.

Replace the lower disc guard and the sanding disc table.

Miter gauge	Figure 22. Installation of the disc
A miter gage (see Figure 23) is supplied with the sander. The
miter gauge can be used on the disc table or the belt table. The
miter gauge can be set anywhere up to 45 degrees right or left.
Adjust the angle by loosening the knob, rotating the miter
gauge to the desired angle and retightening the knob.
Motor Belt
If the motor belt becomes loose, the belt can be tightened by
loosening the motor hold down nuts (see Figure 24). Slide to the
rear of the sander to tighten the belt. Hold the motor in position
and tighten the four motor hold down nuts.

Typical operations

The following are just some of the many operations that can be
performed with your Wilton Sander:

wood. Use the block of wood to support the chisel and provide	Figure 23. Miter gauge (shown on disc

	table)
Sand a bevel in the block of wood in order to position the
wood as close as possible to the sanding belt and clamp the wood
to the table, as shown.

A cold chisel can also be sharpened on the belt table with the table tilted.
