Main Table Angle

The main table position can be adjusted from 0° - 45°. To adjust the angle position of the main table:

1.Loosen the lock handles underneath each end of the main table as shown in Figure 14.

2.Tilt the table into the desired position. The scale on the side of the bracket can help you find specific angles. While holding the table in the desired position, tighten each of the lock- ing handles loosened in Step 1.

3.Changing the table angle may reduce the clearance between the inside edge of the table and the sanding belt surface. If there is less than 116" clearance, loosen the fixing bolts located on the underside of the table mounting bracket as shown in Figure 14. Pull the table and mounting bracket away from the sanding belt so there is at least 116" clearance between the inside edge of the table and the sanding belt surface.

4.While holding the main table in the desired position, tighten the fixing bolts loosened in Step 3.

5.Recheck the clearance between the main table and the sanding belt. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 if necessary.

Miter Gauge

The main table has a stationary miter gauge that is used to hold the workpiece at various angles against the sanding belt. To adjust the miter gauge:

1.Loosen the lock handle shown in Figure 16.

2.Rotate the miter gauge to the desired angle.

3.While holding the miter gauge in the desired position, tighten the lock handle loosened in Step 1.

4.We recommend using a square to adjust and/or verify the miter gauge scale as shown in Figure 17.
