Main Table Tilting

The main table can be tilted up to 5o in and 45o out, to match the angle of your workpiece.

1.Loosen the locking handle (B, Figure 11) on both sides beneath the table.

2.With the workpiece on the table, swivel the table into the desired position with the workpiece, or use the indicator scale (C, Figure 11).

3.Tighten locking handles (B, Figure 11).

Table/Belt Clearance

The amount of clearance between the main table and the sanding belt can be adjusted. Loosen the screws (D, Figure 11) and slide the table forward or backward. Re-tighten screws (D, Figure 11).

Miter Gauge

To adjust the miter gauge, loosen the handle (A, Figure 12). Rotate the miter gauge body until the desired angle on the scale lines up with the notch in the pointer (B, Figure 12). Tighten the handle (A, Figure 12).

To remove the miter gauge from the table:

1.Unscrew and remove the handle (A, Figure 12).

2.Remove the socket head button screws, flat washers and lock washers (C, Figure 12) with a hex wrench, and remove the pointer.

3.On the underside of the table, use a screwdriver to remove the screw (not shown) that holds the miter gauge body to the table.

End Table

The end table allows contour sanding. Loosen the locking handle (A, Figure 13) and swing the dust hood (B, Figure 13) away from the belt as shown. In some cases the dust hood may have to be removed entirely.

If the sanding procedure requires removal of the dust hood, be sure to re-install dust hood when finished with that procedure.

Loosen locking handle (C, Figure 13) to raise or lower the end table. Tighten locking handle after adjustment.

Loosen locking handle (D, Figure 14) to tilt the end table. Tighten locking handle after adjustment.
