The miter slot must be parallel with the face of the sanding disc. There should be a 316" gap between the edge of the table and sanding disc to prevent the sandpaper from rubbing against the table, and to keep fingers from being pinched.

Tools Needed:

 

Wrench 10mm

1

Ruler

1

To set the table gap and parallelism:

1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2.Remove the guard, then loosen the six hex bolts that secure the table to the table support brackets.

3.Adjust the table so that there is a 316'' gap (Figure 24) between the disc (with sandpa- per installed) and the edge of the table along its full length.

4.When the miter slot is parallel with the sand- ing disc, tighten the hex bolts.

5.Spin the disc by hand to check if the sandpa- per touches the table.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT turn the disc sander ON until you have verified that it does not touch the table at any point in its rotation!

—If the if the sandpaper touches the table at any point, re-adjust the table parallelism.

Model G0719 (Mfg. Since 10/10)

At 90˚, the miter gauge should be perpendicular to the face of the wheel when it is mounted in the X-axis table slot. If it is not, follow this procedure to recalibrate it.

Tools Needed:

 

Machinist's Square

1

Phillips Head Screwdriver

1

To calibrate the miter gauge:

 

1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2.Check that the miter slot is parallel to the sanding wheel as described in Table Gap & Parallelism.

3.Use a try square or machinist’s square with one edge against the face of the miter gauge and the other against the disc face, as shown in Figure 25.

Figure 25. Squaring miter gauge to disc.

4.Loosen the lock knob on the miter gauge and adjust the face of the miter gauge so it is flush with the edge of the square, tighten the gauge lock knob, and verify the setting.

5.Loosen the degree scale pointer, position the pointer on 90˚, and retighten the screw.

6.Recheck the miter scale accuracy with the square.
