Sanding Belt Table Adjustment
WARNING
Always disconnectthe sander from the power source before servicing or making any adjustments.
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
1. Place a square on the sanding belt table with one edge along the graphite pad, or sanding belt (Figure 4).
2. If the table is not square to the belt adjust the table by loosening the two locking handles. Adjust to the square position and tighten handles.
3. Place a combination square (A, Fig. 5) in the miter gauge slot (B, Fig. 5) and check the distance from the slot to the edge of the sanding belt. Slide the square along the slot to the other end of the belt and check the distance. The distances should be equal to ensure that the miter gauge travels parallel to the belt. Loosen the two socket head cap screws at the bottom of the table, which hold the table and left trunnion in place to adjust the distance.
4. Always maintain a gap of approximately 1/16” between the table edge and belt. Once the table is square and parallel to the belt adjust the 90° stop. Loosen the hex nut and tighten the set screw until it contacts the guide pin, (Figure 6). Tighten the hex nut. Repeat for the other side.
5. If you need to sand at a precise angle, loosen the handles that secure the table in place. Set a combination square on the table and adjust to the desired angle. Always maintain a gap of approximately 1/16” between the table edge and belt.
Note: The belt table can be removed and the disc table can be used in its place. There are two holes in the base, below the sanding belt, that will accommodate the disc table’s support rod and locking handle.
