SERVICE

General

This section covers the most common service adjustments or procedures that may need to be made during the life of your machine.

If you require additional machine service not included in this section, please contact Woodstock International Technical Support at (360) 734-3482 or send e-mail to: tech-support@shopfox.biz.

Table/Disc Parallelism

The edge of the table must be parallel with the face of the sanding disc, and there should be a 116'' gap between the two. This gap should be large enough so that the sandpaper does not rub against the table, but small enough so that the gap is not a pinch hazard.

To make the table and sanding disc parallel, do these steps:

1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

Make sure that your machine is unplugged during all maintenance procedures! If this warning is ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

2.Loosen the six flat head screws and hex nuts that secure the table to the table support brackets.

3.Adjust the table so that there is a 116'' gap (see Figure 19) between the 12" disc (with sandpaper installed) and the table, from left to right.

4.When the table is parallel with the sanding disc, tighten the flat head screws and hex nuts.

5.Spin the disc by hand to make sure the sandpaper is not touching the table.

If the sandpaper does touch the table as you spin the disc by hand, repeat Steps 2–5until it does not.

6.Perform the Miter Gauge Calibration procedure on the next page to ensure the miter slot is perpendicular to the sanding disc.
