Table Gap

Adjustment

To reduce the risk of in-running nip (pinch) points, yet avoid the risk of the sandpaper contacting the tables, the tables should be adjusted away from the sandpaper no more than 1⁄16".

Note: The procedure for the table gap adjustment is similar for both tables.

To adjust the table-to-sandpaper gap:

1.DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER!

2.First, check the existing adjustment by slid- ing the miter gauge into the table T-slot, then positioning a 90° square flat against the miter face and up against the sanding surface, as shown in Figure 20.

Figure 20. Positioning the miter gauge and

square for aligning the table.

—If the square is flat against the miter face and the sanding surface, and the table is no more than 1⁄16" away from the sandpaper for both tables, no adjustments are need- ed. Fully tighten the hex bolts underneath the table. Continue to the Checking Belt Tracking procedure.

—If the square is not flat against the sanding surface as it remains flat against the miter face, or the table is not at least 1⁄16" away from the sanding surface, continue with the next step.
