When you change the sandpaper or you notice an
inconsistency with the actual sanding thickness in
relationshiptoyourdigitalsetting,youmustre-calibrate
the table.
To re-calibrate your table, do these steps:
1. Sand a workpiece multiple times at the same
thickness until no sanding occurs when the
workpiece goes through the sander.
2. Using a caliper capable of measuring 0.001",
measure and record the workpiece thickness.
3. Type the recorded thickness of the workpiece on
the key pad, and the digital display will show the
thickness. Example: For 11⁄2"thickness,type1.500;
or for 13⁄8" thickness, type 1.375.
4. NowpressandholdtheSET key for 3 seconds:
The table is now calibrated.
Note: Holding the set key for 10 seconds toggles
the digital readout between metric and standard
measurements.
