indicate the average thickness of the sanded wood.

thickness scale.

steps:

numerical measurement of the average thickness

of the sanded wood into the digital key pad on the

control panel.

Note: The average thickness of the sanded wood

should now be flashing on the digital read-out.

flashing. The sander is now correctly calibrated.
