W1730 Oscillating Edge Sander
Platen Angle Adjustment
The sanding angle of the oscillating edge sander is variable between 0 and 90 degrees.
To adjust the platen angle, do these steps:
1.Loosen the angle adjustment lock handle and tilt the sander until the pointer is aligned with the desired angle as shown in Figure 24.
2.Tighten the angle adjustment lock handle.
Note: See Page 26 to calibrate the angle scale.
Table Adjustment
The table on the oscillating edge sander moves both vertically and horizontally to accommodate various workpieces shapes and thicknesses. Adjust the table height periodically to reduce spot wear of your sanding belt.
To vertically adjust the table, do these steps:
1.Loosen the lock handles (Figure 25) that secure the table height position.
2.Turn the table height adjustment wheel, shown in Figure 25, clockwise to raise the table or counterclockwise to lower the table.
3.When the desired position is achieved, tighten the lock handles to secure the table height.
To horizontally adjust the table, do these steps:
1.Move the table lock levers to the loose position as illustrated by the labels on the machine.
2.Push or pull the table until there is a gap of no more than 1/16" from the sanding belt (Figure 26).
3.Move the table lock levers to the locked position to secure the table position.
