TILTING THE TABLE AND ADJUSTING THE 45 DEGREE POSITIVE STOPS

MAKE CERTAIN MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE MAKING ADJUST- MENTS.

The table can be tilted up to 45 degrees up or down. To tilt the table down as shown in Fig. 14, loosen table lock handles (A) Fig. 13, and pivot table until desired angle is established. Then tighten table locking handles. To tilt the table (X) up as shown in Fig. 17, loosen table lock handles (A) Fig. 13, pivot 90 degree positive stop (B) Fig. 15, to the position shown, and tilt the table to the desired angle. Then tighten table locking handles. NOTE: Table locking handles (A) Fig. 13, are spring-loaded and can be repositioned on the stud by pulling out the handle and repositioning it on the nut. A scale (C) Fig. 15, and point- er (D) are provided to indicate the degree of tilt.

WARNING: REGARDLESS OF WHICH POSITION THE TABLE IS TILTED, THE TABLE EDGE (Z) FIG. 14, MUST BE POSITIONED A MAXIMUM OF 1/16" FROM THE ABRASIVE DISC AS SHOWN, TO AVOID TRAP- PING THE WORK OR FINGERS BETWEEN THE TABLE AND ABRASIVE DISC. FOR ADJUSTMENTS, SEE SECTION “ADJUSTING MITER GAGE SLOT PAR- ALLEL WITH THE ABRASIVE DISC”.

WARNING: WE SUGGEST THAT ALL BEVEL SAND- ING APPLICATIONS BE PERFORMED WITH THE TABLE TILTED DOWN AS SHOWN IN FIG. 14; HOW- EVER, IF THERE IS A NEED TO TILT THE TABLE UP AS SHOWN IN FIG. 17, THE WORKPIECE MUST BE SECURELY FASTENED OR CLAMPED TO A FIXTURE OR JIG TO PREVENT THE WORKPIECE FROM BEING TORN FROM HANDS AND BECOMING TRAPPED BETWEEN THE TABLE AND ABRASIVE DISC.
