The table on the oscillating edge sander moves both
vertically and horizontally to accommodate various
workpieces shapes and thicknesses. Adjust the table

belt.
To vertically adjust the table, do these steps:

table height position.
2. Turn the table height adjustment wheel, shown
in Figure 25, clockwise to raise the table or
counterclockwise to lower the table.
3. When the desired position is achieved, tighten the
lock handles to secure the table height.
To horizontally adjust the table, do these steps:
1. Move the table lock levers to the loose position as
illustrated by the labels on the machine.
2. Push or pull the table until there is a gap of no more
than 1/16" from the sanding belt ( Figure 26).
3. Move the table lock levers to the locked position to
secure the table position.
