Aligning Table
The table must be aligned to the face of the sand- ing disc so that the sandpaper does not rub against the table.
To align the table:
1.Disconnect the machine from the power source!
2.Loosen the hex bolts that secure the table to the table support bracket.
3.Adjust the table so that there is 3⁄64" or 1 mm between the table and the sanding disc as shown in Figure 9.

6.Repeat steps 1-4 if the sandpaper touches the table at any point in the rotation.
Adjusting Miter
Gauge
The miter gauge needs to be adjusted perpendic- ular to the face of the wheel when it is mounted in the table slot.

2. Use a machinist square with one edge against the face of the miter gauge and the other against the disc face as shown in
Figure 10.
