WARNING

Removing the￿belt guard exposes more of the sanding belt! Replace the belt guards immediately after completing any sanding that requires it’s removal!

Failure to comply may cause serious injury!

Horizontal Sanding

With the sanding platen locked in the horizontal position, the removable fence (A, Fig. 6) may be used. The fence can be secured in place by screwing two lock knobs (B, Fig. 6) into the guide blocks found in the miter slot. Adjust the table so the fence is at a good height, see “Table Adjustment” page 13..

The backstop (C, Fig. 6) can also be used by removing the extension cover (D, Fig. 6) and placing the backstop pin in the positioning hole and securing in place with the lock knob. The extension cover can be reinstalled.

Vertical Sanding

With the sanding platen locked in the vertical position, the backstop (A, Fig. 7) and/or the miter gauge (B, Fig. 7) may be used.

If you need to do precise 90° work use a square between the table and sanding platen. Adjust for square.

Contour Sanding

The use of extension table (C, Fig. 7) is optional according to the particular function of the sanding operation. The end guard should always be in place if the extension table is not being used.
