Platen Lock Tension Adjustment

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2.Loosen lock handle by pulling forward (A, Fig. 9) and move motor and sanding table toward the horizontal position. Do not lock.

3.Tension eccentric block by tightening the nyloc nut (B, Fig. 9) with a 14mm wrench. Turn the nut in ¼ turn increments and test locking handle for proper tension. Locking handle is properly tensioned when it requires positive force to move the eccentric block (attached to the locking handle) from one side to the other. The platen and motor assembly must stay in a locked position without sliding once the handle has been moved to the locked position. Re-adjust as necessary.
