Table Tilt
To ensure accuracy, adjust the table 90˚ to the sanding disc.
To check table tilt, do these steps:
1.Place a try square or a machinist’s square with the base flat against the table and the blade vertical against the disc plate.
2.If there is a gap between the square and the disc plate, loosen the table lock handles as shown in Figure 7.
3.Tilt the table until there is no gap between the square and the disc plate, tighten the table lock handles and recheck with the square to verify that the table remained aligned.
4.Remove the angle pointer and place it so that it points to 90˚ on the trunnion gauge.
Replacing the
Sandpaper
The sandpaper can be replaced without removing the table or the dust port.
To replace the sanding disc, do these steps:

2.Make sure that the disc plate is free of dirt, dust, and adhesive.
3.Peel back half of the sanding disc backing.
4.Slide the covered portion of the sanding disc between the disc plate and the table as shown in Figure 8.
5.Firmly press the exposed portion of the sanding disc to the top of the disc plate.
6.Rotate the disc plate 180˚, peel back the remaining half of the sanding disc backing and press it into place (Figure 9).
7.Make sure the sanding disc is firmly attached before plugging in the disc sander.
