Scale Pointer
Calibration
Tools Needed: | Qty |
Phillips Head Screwdriver | ................................. 1 |
In order for the scale pointer to be accurate, it must be calibrated.
We recommend calibrating your scale pointer any time you adjust the drum heights or table lift screws.
To calibrate the scale pointer:
1.Sand a workpiece with the drum sander and measure the thickness of the sanded workpiece.
2.Loosen the screw that secures the scale pointer and adjust it to the thickness of the workpiece.

Dust Scoop Position
Tools Needed: | Qty |
Hex Wrench 4mm | 1 |

Distance From Roller | 0.160" (4mm) |
The dust scoop helps control the effectiveness of the dust collection system, thus reducing the amount of dust that accumulates on the workpiece as it travels through the sander.
To adjust the dust scoop position:
1.Disconnect power to the sander!
2.Open the top cover.
3.Loosen the four button head cap screws, shown in Figure 41, that secure the dust scoop to the rear upper angle.
4.At both ends, adjust the dust scoop forward/ backward until there is a 4mm gap between the rear drum and the dust scoop at the nar- rowest point (use the 4mm hex wrench as a gauge; Figure 41), and tighten the four but- ton head cap screws.
